Comments
In one respect the new license is even more liberal than the CC-BY-NC-ND license it replaces. It expressly allows some derivative works.
The specific mention of PMC suggests that the new license is designed for articles by NIH-funded authors. But this is strange for two reasons. First, not all iOA articles will be written by NIH-funded authors. Second, not all NIH-funded authors publishing in the relevant journals will choose the iOA option. The first kind of strangeness is easy to take. There's no harm in having clauses in a license that only apply to a subset of the licensed articles. The second kind of strangeness, however, may be a sign that T&F is planning to require its NIH-funded authors to choose the iOA option, and pay a large fee ($3,250), for the right to comply with their prior funding contract. Is it? Is it planning to force authors who only want green OA to pay for gold OA?

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.
