Creative Commons Aotearoa New Zealand discussion

Great news, especially since NZ is one of the participating countries. Also nice to see they are using the Budapest definition of OA as "allow others to build upon and re-use" the content. 

http://www.hfsp.org/funding/open-access-policy

"HFSP expects that scientists receiving financial support from the Program disseminate their findings in international, high-quality peer review journals and that publications arising from HFSP funded projects are made freely available as soon as possible after publication and licensed in ways which allow others to build upon and re-use this content. Therefore HFSP funded scientists are encouraged to maximize the dissemination of their research output by opting to publish their research articles using the Creative Commons Attribution license CC-BY1 to guarantee unrestricted open access as early as possible after acceptance of a manuscript.""

Cheers,

Fabiana
