[open-science] WileyOpenAccess is now CC-BY

[Ross Mounce]

Just a quick note:

Wiley have sent out a press release today to announce that they have
changed the licensing conditions of their 'WileyOpenAccess' branded
journals.
http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/PressRelease/pressReleaseId-104537.html

They have now adopted the Creative Commons Attribution
(CC-BY<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/>)
licence.

I and many others have repeatedly pointed out that the label
'WileyOpenAccess' doesn't fit the CC BY-NC license they were previously
using. So this is a small but welcome victory for common sense and Open
Access.


Best,

Ross
