what needs licensing?
I read these discussions with great interest and some uncertainty. I publish the e-versions of Bryn Mawr Classical and Bryn Mawr Medieval Reviews. We have paid very little attention to copyright and have no intention of putting license restrictions on what we produce. I can give explanations for *our* case, but I'm more interested in the boundary that our case suggests. What e-journals and the like are or will continue to be available more or less freely in a culture of trust ultimately guaranteed by the copyright statutes, and which will require protection by licenses? If we could figure out the criteria for distinguishing the two, we'd have a better sense for the proportion of scholarly and scientific resources likely to be available the one way and the other.
