It has to be done by human/s. The concepts are too intertwined to allow
normal text processing. There's also sometimes the problem of going too
fast. Some of the suggestions are so broad that that make the discussion
very unstructurable.

For me the essential goal has been achieved - to show the prevalence of
CC-NC and similar in funded APC STM hybrid journal article publication.
Note that ir is VERY important to define the context (as I have just done).
Otherwise the discussion can range to ideas of personal freedom vs
organizations and governments.

We also have to come back to OKF's role. OKF should not duplicate licence
creation organizations. It should help people and organizations to
formulate their policies.

First - well done. (It's very different from chloroquine). Maybe discuss
this with you offlist. Note of course that the IP of the publication is
distinct from the IP of the compound or its method of synthesis. (People
often conflate open-access publication with open-access science.
