newSLATE: quick review
It does not appear to be GPL nor very Open. The developer has patents

By signing up for a free newSLATE account, a user can create their own study materials (e.g. vocabulary lists), store them at the newSLATE site, and take quizzes on them from any Java-enabled web browser. The software currently includes built-in multilingual support for Latin-script languages and Hebrew. Additionally, teachers can pay a small yearly fee to make study materials they create in newSLATE available to their students. There are also many prepared study materials freely available for anyone to use.
