From: Patrick Alexander <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:28:15 -0500 Colleagues on Liblicense, I have been a member of this listserv for more years than I care to remember, and I don’t recall ever posting anything. That statement may reflect the onset of early senility rather than the truth, but the point stands: I do not generally weigh in. Recent posts by retired Penn State Press director Sandy Thatcher, however, which sound a rather ex cathedra voice on behalf of the press, give me pause. Mr. Thatcher is extraordinarily capable and conversant in matters of scholarly communication. He does not, however, speak in any capacity for the press. Views stated in his most recent posts about the Chronicle of Higher Education article, “Aaron Schwarz was Right,” by professor Peter Ludlow, are strictly his own, and do not represent the views of The Pennsylvania State University Press. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Sincerely, Patrick Alexander Patrick H.
