Summary:

From Google Translate: "When it comes to publishing Open Access (as reported in the book Making Open Access. The free dissemination of scientific knowledge in the digital age  recently published), another practice rather widespread but equally deplorable is to release the paper version of a 'it operates under a different license than the digital version . It is a problem that affects mostly monographs and essays; a great classic is the decision to publish the book printed under copyright (with the classic words 'copyright - all rights reserved') and sell the publishing initiative as Open Access for the simple fact that somewhere there is a version on the web digital free download, however, without a license really consistent with the definition of Open Access, or with a license only partially open (for example, a DC with Non Commercial clause).

Although the definition of Open Access does not come specifically on the merits of this aspect (in fact it refers mostly to the dissemination of research products in the digital environment), to resolve any doubts succor common sense.

The licenses Creative Commons do not distinguish the format or medium in which the work is widespread ; therefore they act on the work itself and not so much on the size or on the work support. It follows that in all those cases in which the digital version and the printed version are in fact the exact same work both in terms of content and in layout level and graphics (consider the case where spreads the PDF of the editorial version) it makes little sense circulated with two different licenses. That way you get just the effect of creating confusion among the users of the work and to show that he had understood the operation of open licensing."
