It's great to see more sense over embargoes - as a librarian I've repeatedly said libraries are not suddenly going to start cancelling subscriptions if there are no embargo periods for green open access. However, I need to take issue with the assumption in this article that green open access by definition requires an embargo - no, it does not, so saying that Robert Jan-Smits "opposes" green open access is wholly inaccurate. Green open access is self-archiving via a repository, ideally with no embargo at all.
