[GOAL] Licence of IEEE "Gold OA" papers?

[Brett PTB Mr (PG/R - Electronic Eng)]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know what the actual licensing is of papers published under the IEEE's "Open Access Fee" Gold OA scheme?  It's really not at all clear from browsing IEEE Xplore.

Context: I ask because we're currently re-evaluating our list of target journals in preparation for REF, and one of our criteria is extent of compatibility with the proposed RCUK CC-BY archiving mandate.

Regards,

                                   Peter
