[OWW-SC] Fwd: Fwd: Nature MSB changes policy to allow derivative works

[Mackenzie Cowell]

Science Commons thought MCB's move toward open access was coo, but "not a
true victory for OA [open access]".

 Thanks for this. It's also been posted on Peter Suber's blog:

http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2007/11/whether-or-not-to-allow-derivative.html<http://www.earlham.edu/%7Epeters/fos/2007/11/whether-or-not-to-allow-derivative.html>

Though it's a move in the right direction to be talking about CC licenses,
it's not a true victory for OA. I say that because it is not fully in
accordance with the definition of "open access" set out in the Budapest Open
Access Declaration. The only CC license in compliance with the BOAI
definition is the Attribution license. Sharealike, non-derivatives, and
non-commercial provisions apply levels of control, not making the work
entirely OA.

OK, that's my two cents : ) But like I said, a move in the right direction!

Hope all is well,
K
