Abstract

There is still widespread confusion over copyright and open licensing in relation to academic research outputs. Anne Barron addresses the uncertainty by disentangling the four regimes of authors’ rights. Just because the concept of open access requires licensing to be permissive for users of published research doesn’t mean that it requires the other regimes to be permissive too. Unlike copyrights, moral rights cannot be licensed away.
