Berkeley is probably hedging their bets; they most likely expect Coursera to become more restrictive down the road - no other reason would make sense.

- eupharis 14y agoTo expand on that, the for-profit Coursera seems like a great partner for universities at the moment, but in the future, if they become a force, a platform with millions of students, their profit interest and the universities' interests could begin to diverge. Hopefully, the various platforms (Coursera, edX, Udacity) play nice together, i.e., it's only a small amount of work to setup the same course content on a new platform.

As Google SREs say: Hope is not a strategy. (Especially when you're hoping against the economic interests of the players involved.)
