In our report OER: The value of reuse in education," writes Marion Manton, "we focused our attention on the reuse of online resources whether licensed or not . There was no doubt that making no distinction between licensed OER and stuff on the web reflects the experience of the majority of HE practitioners, who use “stuff” relatively indiscriminately in low risk contexts." The report makes the very good point that "The majority of reuse takes place in contexts that are not publicly visible," and in these cases, licensing is a lot less important. It also notes that "the relative volume of licensed OER to nonlicensed... online content is small and, as a result, the majority of reuse inevitably involves content without open licences."
