The federal government has responded to the Productivity Commission report on intellectual property arrangements. The feds support the PC’s proposal for “free and open access arrangements” for government funded research within a year of publication. “The policy should minimise exemptions.” Which the Australian Research Council already does, in a round-about way.

But in “all cases” research metadata has to be available within three months. Three being a bunch better than 12.
