Good. But also if any of that research was done by any university supported by tax dollars or otherwise public funds or even charitable contributions all that research should be free and open — that anyone has to pay twice or thrice for research and knowledge is insane.

- eclecticfrank 2y agoThis injustice is being adressed by The Berlin Declaration on Open Access to the Sciences and Humanities [1], which a large number universities worldwide have already signed. All employees and students of my university are encouraged to publish open access or grant the university a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-commercial, worldwide licence to publish it in their own repository, if the publisher is more restrictive.
