RE: Princeton bans academics from handing all copyright..

I guess it is my busy day on lib-license.

I wanted to point out that the language of a "ban" does not 
apparently come from Princeton itself, but from a single blogger, 
to whose post all the stories that use that language point. 
That blogger has now changed the post, including a quote from a 
Princeton official saying that the faculty is not being "banned" 
from anything.  Even the URL has changed; the new one is
