[GOAL] Re: Interview with Harvard's Stuart Shieber

[Jean-Claude Guédon]

Thank you, David and Alma. I fully agree with both definitions you give,
and both caveats.

The OA community has defined green and gold very well, but a number of
so-called stake-holders, particularly publishers, have been very good at
muddying the waters and confusing the issues to create appearances of
uncertainty and risk for the researchers (and others as well).
