From their site: Copyright Notice The Journal of Library Innovation is an open access journal.

NC is not BOAI-compliant ND is not-BOAI-compliant This licence would not be acceptable to a large number of funders (RCUK, Wellcome, ESF, NIH, etc.) For this reason it is important that we stop using arbitrary words and start using precise terms. If this is a "platinum" journal then I am not in favour of this term. -- Peter Murray-Rust Reader in Molecular Informatics Unilever Centre, Dep.
