let me rephrase that for your convenience in the context of free software: "open is libre deliberately avoiding the ethical and moral values associated with it." although i have no "authoritative" wikipedia url for this. open access is a subset of the discussion, just as free software and open source software are, or the discussion around open standards. "open" is a industry buzzword diluted to commercial interest. even the industry opposing open access movement you refer to weakens it with its shenanigans around green and gold access models. -- pgp: https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/stef.gpg pgp fp: FD52 DABD 5224 7F9C 63C6 3C12 FC97 D29F CA05 57EF otr fp: https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/otr.txt _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss Unsubscribe: http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/options/okfn-discuss
