[Open-access] NPG plan to charge significantly MORE for CC BY

[Ross Mounce]

Outrageous press release from Nature Publishing Group today.

They're explicitly charging more to authors who want CC BY Gold OA,
relative to more restrictive licenses such as CC BY-NC-SA.
Here's my quick take on it:

More money, for absolutely no extra work.

Horrid :(
