Defending Openness (Linux Journal)
Glyn Moody looks at
challenges to open access and open data. "
What this shows is that however many battles are won, the war against closed, proprietary approaches goes on. Open source and open standards have made huge strides, but in other areas - open access and open data, for example - the fight is only beginning. If you want to track what's happening here the best place to go is Peter Suber's Open Access News. This will not only keep you completely up to date on the latest developments in the open access and open data worlds (with a fair amount of related open source stuff thrown in for good measure), but it will also highlight all the important campaigns and petitions that need your help. As recent events in the open source and open standards world have shown, individuals can make a real difference."
