Imagine a publishing house with the mission of making knowledge and insights available to everybody for free, while ensuring high standards.
Well, the three universities of Berlin and the Charité have now joined forces to do just that.
They founded "Berlin Universities Publishing". Neither authors not readers pay. The pdf of books are freely available under a Creative Commons licence.
It's called "Diamond Open Access". They're just starting up. Much more to come.
On 30 April 1993, CERN's Directors declared that the three components of Web software (the basic line-mode client, the basic server and the library of common code) that Tim Berners-Lee @timbl had first proposed in 1989, were to be put in the Public Domain.
We are grateful to CERN and to Tim for this world changing decision which has enabled the W3C community to create open, accessible, international web standards which make the web work, for everyone.
