[BOAI] Re: Signalling the openness of references cited on Wikipedia

[Prof. T.D. Wilson]

This is probably not the place to debate the BOAI definition, but I think
there's a distinction to be made between the ND clause and "re-use".  The
ND clause in effect prevents someone from taking a work and incorporating
their own material to produce a new work, without permission, whereas
"re-use" could mean either the creation of a derivative work or simply,
taking a work and re-presenting it in a new environment. I don't think the
ND clause would prevent Wikipedia, for example, taking a paper from
Information Research and presenting it as a supplement or appendix to an
article in the encyclopedia, and, given that Wikipedia is non-commercial,
the NC clause is not involved.
