Re: Is science on sale this week?

Perhaps, although if you have given away your copyright, they could
remove this from you at any time, with no justification. And I don't
have the right to download your work, analyse it, and generate aggregate
data sets on the basis of this.

I published my paper in Future Internet. In the future, any papers that
get accepted to ESWC and ISWC will just go onto arXiv -- this is
assuming you can submit *without* agreeing to publish.
