Today CC announced a new project aimed at re-creating the so-called
"research exemption" for patents in the U.S.:

I remember a few years ago, when Science Commons was starting, this was
an area many people expected SC to move quickly into. But the word then
was that patents are not a significant barrier to academic research (I
could swear I remember Wilbanks saying something almost verbatim like that).
What changed the calculus? Or am I remembering this wrong?

there shall be some share of fellowship; which shall be better than a
den of thieves.
