Interesting language used in both reports: researchers should not have to release their work under licenses that could "harm its integrity or allow modification without consent".  What licenses do they mean, I wonder, and how would those licenses lead to such outcomes?  I'm thinking both "how could open licenses potentially lead to this" and also "what are the causal mechanisms from the standpoint of those concerned".

Rick, where do you think this opposition is coming from?  “Appropriators” is a very anonymous screen behind which is … ?

Pull quote: “appropriators in both chambers of Congress have advanced legislation that would block federal agencies from limiting authors’ ability to choose how to license their work.”
