Hi, it's a good step forward. Just on the micro-level, why the caps for "free license" and (inconsistent with the title) "open access" in the main text? [[User:Tony1|<span style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml"><font color="darkgreen">'''Tony'''</font >]] [[User talk:Tony1|<font color="darkgreen">(talk)</font ></span>]] 06:00, 22 March 2015 (UTC) |

:Good catch! {{ping|Tony1}} I've updated the policy to correct the capitalization. The capitalized "free license" refers to a defined term within the policy (see the link in the policy). Thanks for letting us know :) [[User:MBrar (WMF)|MBrar (WMF)]] ([[User talk:MBrar (WMF)|talk]]) 21:46, 19 June 2015 (UTC) |

ORCID
Excellent initiative. I suggest that we encourage, and eventually require, researchers to supply their ORCID identifier as part of their proposal. Many research funding bodies and publishers are now making this requirement. (Disclosure: I am Wikipedian in Residence at ORCID.)

- Thank you, Andy @Pigsonthewing: for that suggestion! We will keep this in mind as we monitor the effectiveness of the existing policy. MBrar (WMF) (talk) 21:42, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

GPL?
Why is the emphasis on the GPL? Most modern research code I see is MIT licensed. We shouldn't call out a viral license exclusively. Ironholds (talk) 17:16, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- To be clear, it says "GPL or any other OSI-approved license." I assume we called it out for the same reason we called out BY-SA (our specific community norms). Greg (WMF) (talk) 18:29, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, but the GPL isn't our community norm around research, but instead our norm around production software. Ironholds (talk) 18:55, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
