And just to clarify currently WHO is "green open access", free to view but not free to reuse.
The request is for them to go "gold open access" free to view and free to reuse.
Those definitions are wrong: "green" is self-archiving by the author (e.g. by posting a copy on arxiv), while "gold" is open access via the journal's site. Neither 'gold' or 'green' means that the content can be reused, although articles may also be released under a free license. Have a read of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_journal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_journal (and note that no-where does that article use the word "reuse", or even "licence").
Thanks, Mike
