UncategorizedSCRIPT-ed, an open access journal covering a broad range of topics relating to law and technologies has begun to publish its content under the Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license. The journal, based out of the University of Edinburgh School of Law, examines issues including intellectual property, digital copyright, free expression, free software, privacy and public health.
SCRIPT-ed is “built on the principles of sharing academic works for the benefit of the wider community.” Like many other open access journals, SCRIPT-ed contributors retain the copyright to their submissions but release the specific work under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license for the publication. In this case the license allows users to reuse, copy, publish, or perform the work.
