Declan Butler in Nature about Open Access

Declan Butler's article in Nature -- "US seeks to make science free for all" -- contains a lot about (1) "Gold" Open Access publishing fees (and about where the money will come from), a little (2) about "Green" Open Access self-archiving mandates from research funders that require fundees to deposit the final, accepted drafts of published articles in an Open Access repository (and about how long they are embargoed before they are made Open Access), but nothing at all about the biggest Open Access development of all: (3) Green Open Access deposit mandates from authors universities and research institutions. Not all research is funded, but virtually all of it originates from the planet's universities and research institutions. And although MIT and Harvard have pledged to commit some funds to pay for some Gold Open Access fees for some of their authors, Declan Butler's article neglects to mention that they first mandated Green Open Access for all of their own institutional research output -- and so have over a hundred other universities worldwide.
