[Open-access] Wellcome's new Open Access policy very welcome

[Mike Taylor]

Craig,

Please add my loud, sustained applause. It's absolutely grotesque that
researchers are accepting Wellcome money and simply not doing what
they undertake to do in return. I delightedly welcome your refusal to
keep feeding them more funding.
