The document discusses the traditional licensing model for accessing scholarly works and emerging alternatives like open access publishing. It addresses: 1) How licensing of digital content replaced ownership and introduced greater restrictions than copyright alone. 2) Concerns about digital rights management limiting fair use and access over time. 3) The open access movement which aims to make research freely available online through open licensing or self-archiving in repositories. 4) Examples of open access publishing models and projects that provide alternatives to the traditional subscription model.
