More on Sabo's open-access bill....In today's New York Times, Warren Leary reports that the bill will be called the Public Access to Science Act. Excerpt from Leary's story: "The measure places results of research financed primarily by the government into the public domain so access cannot be prohibited by copyright, said Dr. Michael B. Eisen, a co-founder of the [Public Library of Science], and a biologist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The bill also calls on federal agencies to improve access to their research results."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
