"mandates" require "open access" by allowing only free reading or also

reuse and redistribution? "Open access" which does not allow use by

computer but only manual access is not really something we want in

21st century... tools should have access to publications as well. Tools

should be allowed to analyze them. Tools should be allowed to distribute,

push, pull them...
