Matt Haughey, Woody Guthrie free culture, Creative Commons weblog, April 5, 2004. Haughey relays a message from a friend quoting Woody Guthrie's copyright notices, which were either way ahead of their time or in the spirit of 1790, as CC might put it.

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.
