[Open-access] how open is it

[Jonathan Gray]

Had a quick look. One comment (which I also submitted on the form):

  * "Generous reuse & remixing rights (CC-BY license)" - The allusion
to CC-BY is helpful, but it would also be good if this box explicitly
mentioned OpenDefinition.org as a standard for fully open licenses -
e.g. for cases where there may be bespoke or custom licenses.
