The University of California system adopted a policy on August 2nd that the default publishing of any scholarly article will be licensed openly to the University of California and also openly available to all the scientists.
This has received a great amount of press for the valuable value it brings to open access journals as well as open access publishing. However, as this blog by University of California points out, there is a big loophole in this policy. It allows any scientist to opt-out of the policy, which means that anything that the scientist wants to publish, will be allowed too and certain big publishers like AAAS or Nature are asking the scientist to opt-out of the University of California policy, so it almost eliminates the tenets of the policy. It remains to be seen how this policy gets reviewed and resolved.
