Thanks for the update, Stevie!

Sounds great. Let's hope openly available as in cc-by and not as in "you're

> The basic principles in the proposed national guidelines are

> forming the basis for scientific publications, that are the result of
> publicly funded research, must be openly available.

> I'm sure the devil is in the detail but this seems like excellent news!
> John and Jan, do you know much about this? What's the background?
