Lizenzen - war: Open Access in NRW

["Klaus Graf" <klaus.graf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In einem Editorial wird begruendet, warum die PLoS sich
fuer eine bestimmte CC-Lizenz entschieden hat:

http://www.plosbiology.org/plosonline/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pbio.0020228

Es wird ein wenig dazu gesagt, warum die kommerzielle
Nutzung erlaubt ist, aber leider nichts dazu - was wir
diskutierten - warum "derivative works" (Bearbeitungen)
gestattet sind.

Der Artikel schliesst: "When authors publish their work in
journals with restrictive copyright practices, it becomes
illegal (often for even the authors themselves) to store
primary research articles in many archives or include them
in coursepacks or use them for other responsible purposes.
Those obstacles to sharing knowledge can be avoided without
legislative intervention, however, if scientists and
publishers alike embrace a legal paradigm for disseminating
new discoveries that maximizes their utility."

Noch ein Zitat aus den Open Access News:

Richard Roberts, a Senior Editor for NAR and a past Nobel
Prize winner, said 'Open Access is the future of scientific
publication and one that we should all work hard to make
successful.'

Dem ist nichts hinzuzufuegen.
