Whether certain OA strategies are compatible with existing law in Germany and the EU, and whether any amendments are needed to implement them.
Update (3/13/09). There's an active discussion taking place in the comment section of Eric Steinhauer's post on Hirschfelder's article at Wissenschaftsurheberrecht. Read it in German or Google's English.

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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
