[BOAI] Re: pls, support our statement on TPP

[Julia Bolton Holloway]

Dear Carolina Rossini,
As a BOAI signer, I am concerned that learning be available as freely as 
possible, only using copyright to protect authors' livelihood rather 
than just to bloat publishers' coffers (my experience). My own 
publications are essentially copyleft and I would so appreciate an html 
character for that!
