Also there is the movement to create an open public library of scientific papers,who got a model archive called "PubMed Central" and an ongoing petition for scientists approving the idea at http://www.publiclibraryofscience.org.
I think these initiatives are great gifts to humanity and I hope the concept will be copied elsewhere (suggestions?).
Anyone have other legal examples of this "open source" trend?

(you have to go through the same process as if you were ordering one of the chargeable hires versions, which is a bit cumbersome, but it's a great resource. I imagine Gareth and Robin would love it)

This thread is also about the social impact of the "free stuff", like the public library for scientific papers will have for effect that scientists won't have to reivent the wheel over and over in solo so we'll cure diseases much faster. If only private pharmaceutical compagnies would join in...

C'est un service éducatif en ligne proposé par plusieurs universités françaises et étrangères. Il s'agit d'une banque de données documentaires et d'un système de diffusion de conférences universitaires." Ça m'a l'air assez bien c'truc.

"The BBC Creative Archive, first announced by former BBC Director-General, Greg Dyke at the Edinburgh Television Festival in August 2003, launches in autumn 2004 and will allow people to download clips of BBC factual programmes from bbc.co.uk for non-commercial use, keep them on their PCs, manipulate and share them, so making the BBC's archives more accessible to licence fee payers.
Access to the BBC Creative Archive will be based on the Creative Commons model already working in the United States (www.creativecommons.org) which proposes a middle way to rights management, rather than the extremes of the pure public domain or the reservation of all rights."
this is most excellent news.
