Is any university appointing new professors or teachers based on contributions to open archives or open e-journals only, simply ignoring any printed or non-open works, yet? If I contribute an article to an open archive or e-journal, can I set a license (GNU GPL or Creative Commons style) that effectively prohibits its results from being quoted or used in non-open archives? (I guess not.) Is anybody teaching courses only using openly available papers? Is anybody doing research into the questions above? -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se/
