A quick note on an interesting point raised by Roger Peng:
This post at the Scholarly Kitchen touches on a number of arguments against mandatory CC-BY licensing. They’re all worth talking about, although none seem worth keeping science behind closed doors.

This article raises, for me at least, the interesting question of whether the large amount of research that remains uncited in medical/scientific literature is a good thing, a bad thing, or a neutral thing. I did a little more reading, and found some other posts on the topic.
