[Duraspace] Going all in on GSU - Scholarly Communications @ Duke

[Hilton Gibson]

*The truly shocking thing about this petition is how openly Oxford
University Press, Cambridge University Press and Sage Publishing are now
attacking free speech and the dissemination of knowledge.*  These are not
“academic” presses anymore; their profit motive and shorted-sighted focus
on protecting old business models has led them to assume an anti-academic
stance that the scholarly community should not tolerate.  They are
demanding nothing less than a right to suppress and inhibit the spread of
knowledge, simply by refusing to offer a license, whenever the believe that
doing so is to their commercial advantage.
