Last April the BBC, together with Channel 4 Television, the British Film Institute and the Open University, launched the Creative Archive Licence. It was a small act, but it could prove to be a momentous step in how we use moving image and audio in our public and cultural life....The Creative Archive will offer free access to BBC content for learning, for creativity and for pleasure. From home, the public will be able to: [1] search for legally cleared TV and radio content - from extracts to whole programmes, [2] preview and download non-broadcast quality versions, [3] modify and create their own versions, [4] share with others - and with the BBC - on a non-commercial basis.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
