[GOAL] Re: Why should publishers agree to Green OA?

[Andrew A. Adams]

Alicia,

What on earth business is it of Elsevier what the arrangements I have with my 
funding body or university? You are seriously overreaching in your arrogance 
to presume to interfere. You either give me (i.e. all authors) the right to 
make a green deposit or you don't. This overweening attitude of the academic 
publishers - an intermediary and no more - in the field of scholarly 
communications starts to beggar belief. I will not abide by any such 
ridiculous terms or caveats regarding my relations with third parties, nor do 
I advise anyone else to pay any attention whatsoever to this unbelievable FUD.
