Open Access: A Chronology
Marie Lebert,

This useful list was posted this morning. The very first response, posted to a number of lists by Jan Velterop, was this: "Nice chronology of open access. Unfortunately CC-BY-NC-SA, so itself not full open access as I would define it (though better than pay-walled, obviously)." My first reaction to this message was: what a jerk. When somebody takes the time to create something and share it freely with the community, it is most inappropriate to snarl, "you used the wrong license." I wonder how the author felt about being a member of a community who would respond like that. Those of you who really want commercial open access: we get it, only commercial access will satisfy you. But most of us are happy with a NC license. Stop poisoning the community!
