Yup - we noticed that too.
Interestingly enough, the committee had indicated to us
that the report was going to be under CC. This has happened a few times with
government reports of late. Even where the will is there on the part of the
officers and the official policy, it seems to be a real problem to jump the last
hurdle of the individual manager/lawyer who is responsible for signing off on
the report. Once it comes to the crunch of getting the report printed and off,
they just throw on the same old copyright notice.

From: cc-nz-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:cc-nz-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Pete Rive Sent: Thursday, 11 September 2008 9:00 AM To: cc-nz AT lists.ibiblio.org Subject: Re: [Cc-nz] cc-nz Digest, Vol 32, Issue 7 Thanks Jessica and
Elliott,
The innovation report has made
fascinating reading. You may be amused to note that despite the endorsement of
CC and open access in the report, the copyright protection and DRM on the online
PDF version is not open. You are free to view and to print the report, but not
copy. Try selecting a piece of text from the report to copy and paste and you
will be asked for a password. I find it a rather surprising use of DRM in a
publicly funded report.
I am looking forward to
reading the Collaborative report next. Thanks for the heads
up.
kind
regards
