[open-science] text-mining licence exemplar

[Heather Piwowar]

Rockefellar University Press also has a propriety period and then opens up
the content.

RUP goes further than free/gratis: it makes the content available under a
CC-BY-SA-NC license.

.

Agreed that this approach is more valuable for text-mining than a 6 month
window of availability. I'd recommend this model... with CC-BY instead of
CC-BY-SA-NC :)

Sincerely,
Heather
