Information wants to be free
Dutch academics declare research free-for-all
Scientists from all major Dutch universities officially launched a website
on Tuesday where all their research material can be accessed for free.
Interested parties can get hold of a total of 47,000 digital documents
from 16 institutions the Digital Academic Repositories. No other nation
in the world offers such easy access to its complete academic research
output in digital form, the researchers claim. Obviously, commercial
publishers are not amused.

Great. Giving free access to research information could speed up progress. I love it!
