Elsevier’s Alicia Wise on the RWA, the West Wing, and Universal Access
Richard Poynder,
Open and Shut, February 9, 2012.
What's Elsevier's take on legilsating open access for government-funded research publications?

Anyhow, read the rest of these eye-opening comments from Elsevier’s director of universal access Alicia Wise, who posted a defence of the company on the Liblicense mailing list.
