Angela,

 

This is very interesting and also a bit concerning with regards to the “attribution” aspect. That remains the single most important issue for authors with respect to sharing licenses and also having scholarly Works ingested and trained on by LLMs…..without attribution as a firm requirement, the entire ecosystem will become even more fraught with plagiarism and other forms of misconduct….

Please note that the NIH draft policy requires grantee/authors to make the following attestation:

"I hereby grant to NIH, a royalty-free, nonexclusive and irrevocable right to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use this work for Federal purposes, and to authorize others to do so. This grant of rights includes the right to create derivative works and make the final, peer-reviewed manuscript publicly available upon the Official Date of Publication."

The NIH is not requiring a CC BY license but is requiring that they get the same rights without any requirement for attribution. This directly relates to language in the appropriation reports. Public comments on the NIH draft policy are due today and there will likely be a lot of commentary on this.
