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

[Julia Bolton Holloway]

In my own case I don't mind material I have placed on the web, etc., 
re-used, provided I am cited. It is there as scholarship to be shared 
openly. Otherwise it would be plagiary. I find the copyright world 
impossible. Publishers control it, not authors, and I find publishers 
sell one's published books to places like Questia, which one can't 
access with paying them - to read one's own material! Also, scholarly 
journals publish reviews of my books but don't send me a copy and block 
me from reading said reviews behind a paywall. Essentially copyright for 
authors is destroyed. A poor scholar cannot afford to legally challenge 
publishers and others from selling one's research. Why I would be so 
grateful for a usable copyleft symbol
