Current Liblicense Archive - Re: STM new Licenses Model seem to undermine CC-Licenses

[Forwarded from LIBLICENSE.  "Chairing the STM association Copyright Committee can often be a balancing act-- trying to cover a variety of competitive pressures while at the same time trying to provide helpful models. Hopefully the clarification issued last week by STM is helpful: http://www.stm-assoc.org/2014_07_30_OA_Licencing_STM_Model_Licences.pdf but the primary point of the STM model licenses (both the stand-alone and the supplementary/amendment docs) deal with user license language on Gold OA articles, where users expect to see some language re how a non-subscriber general user can use the article. As noted in the linked posting, STM was attempting to address a number of issues with the model license and language, as was done on TDM model license clauses last year, looking at the entire environment of user license language from individual publisher bespoke license to the CC slate."
