[okfn-discuss] [open-science] SPARC author addendum uses CC-NC licence and now all hybrid publishers have followed

[Peter Suber]

Peter MR,

I have some data and links in this article from last summer.
http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/07-02-11.htm#copyright

Here's the key excerpt (from #9):

When I checked last week (June 24, 2011), 1,448 out of 6,647 journals in
> the DOAJ, or 21.8%, used some kind of CC license.

As of the same date, 747 or 11.2% had the SPARC Europe Seal of Approval,

Today most libre OA is gold OA.  But unfortunately it's not yet the case
