- *f/g*: The new “open access” license by the International Association
of Scientific Technical & Medical Publishers (STM) fails to meet the basic
standards set out by the Freedom Definition and the Open Knowledge
Definition. The Wikimedia Foundation joins the Public Library of Science,
Open Knowledge and many other groups in urging STM to withdraw these
licenses.
