From: Sandy Thatcher <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sun, 25 May 2014 16:44:00 -0500 So, the problem here is what? ASCE evidently allows authors to post Green OA versions of their papers, just not the Versions of Record. Why is that an unreasonable position to take, since the authors did, after all, sign contracts that transferred copyright to ASCE, which needs to protect itself against unauthorized postings of the final versions. Are publishers not supposed to defend their legal rights?
