Open Access at Oxford » CC BY: what does it mean for scholarly articles?
pontika.nancy@gmail.com's bookmarks 2013-06-27
Summary:
"CC BY is not essential for Open Access. However, making a paper Open Access without the CC BY licence, or with a more restrictive type of Creative Commons licence (e.g. CC BY-ND or CC BY-NC), may mean that a reader must still obtain your specific permission to adapt the work and/or use it for commercial purposes.
The different flavours of CC licence enable you to be more restrictive if you want to be, but obviously the Government/RCUK wants its publicly funded research to be as unrestricted as possible.
CC BY just gives a more liberal blanket permission for some actions."
