More on the Sabo bill....Grant Gross tells the story in the July 2 InfoWorld. Excerpt: "Scientific research paid for by the U.S. government would be required to be given free to the public, under a bill introduced in Congress last week. Representative Martin Olav Sabo, a Minnesota Democrat, said he introduced the Public Access to Science Act (PASA) of 2003 because U.S. residents shouldn’t have to pay twice -- once with tax dollars and a second time with subscription fees to scientific journals -- for research that improve their health or save their lives."

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.
