Thanks to Mike Rossner for this editorial explaining how RUP's
practices are designed to provide free access to all content after 6
months, meet the UK and US open access policy requirements, while
sustaining subscription revenue through the use of the Creative
Commons Attribution - Noncommercial - Sharealike license
(CC-BY-NC-SA). While questioning the need for specific permission for
data and text mining, RUP provides language clarifying that this is
indeed permitted to avoid confusion.

The RUP approach meets the criteria for the PubMedCentral "Open Access
subset" after the 6-month embargo. RUP is Sherpa RomEO "blue",
permitting author self-archiving of post-prints but not preprints.

Rossner presents some useful analysis to the discussion about
licensing practices for open access journals. The editorial can be
