A non-OA publisher, which seems to suffer from/enjoys ridiculous
cost/income per article should not be given voice in this
discussion.<br>
There are simply journals which can ask whatever they want (money,
rights,..) and will get it (Nature, Science,...) <br>
<br>
<u>Forget about them</u> - as long as the authors may publish their
manuscripts with an embargo of 6/12 months max.<br>
And the authors should retain (from their publishers / by law) the
right to put whatever license on those manuscripts.<br>
<br>
Regarding CC-BY-NC and RUP's assertion that "it still achieves the
funding agencies’ goal of reuse of content for text and data
mining." I wonder wether it is true for, say, Google (Scholar)? If
I put an *explicit* NC clause in any license on a web resource: may
Google index and list it? Only on pages *not* enhancing their
revenue, i.e. without advertising? Or not on any of their pages,
since money loosing services may still enhance the brand ...<br>
<br>
I think only specialized lawyers can answer that - and then probably
just for one jurisdiction. Is RUP's Rossner a specialist of that
kind? On how many jurisdictions? Or is it just wishful thinking on
his part, because he wants to maintain maximum control over what
publishers see as their property?<br>
