[BOAI] Princeton goes open access to stop staff handing all copyright to journals – unless waiver granted

[Iryna Kuchma]

[Forwarded message from Kevin Smith via lib-license mailing list]

I wanted to point out that the language of a "ban" does not
apparently come from Princeton itself, but from a single blogger,
to whose post all the stories that use that language point.
That blogger has now changed the post, including a quote from a
Princeton official saying that the faculty is not being "banned"
from anything.  Even the URL has changed; the new one is
