Full Disclosure
I make good money from advising on open
content licensing
I want to promote my brand within the
research community
They don’t pay me any money to speak to

Why
“All rights reserved”
Default: NO!
Copyright, Yes
But flexible, reasonable rules
Reality: Legislative change is difficult -
Legislators are bribed
Solution: Licenses with “some rigths
reserved”

Use only permitted under a
