HP, MIT bolster DSpace open-source archives

,----[ Quote ]
| Open-source advocates claim that the Microsoft-championed format is not as 
| open as it should be and doesn't compare well to rival formats such as the 
| community-developed OpenDocument Format (ODF).  
| 
| "If it were, Microsoft wouldn't need to make Novell and Xandros and Linspire 
| sign NDAs (nondisclosure agreements) and then write translators for them," 
| Pamela Jones, an open-source expert and editor of the Groklaw blog, wrote 
| recently.   
| 
| But the National Archives said that it is not wedded to any particular data 
| format and that all technology options are being considered at this time.

MIT Faculty and Libraries Refuse DRM; SAE Digital Library Canceled

,----[ Quote ]
| SAE's DRM technology severely limits use of SAE papers and
| imposes unnecessary burdens on readers. With this technology,
| users must download a DRM plugin, Adobe?s "FileOpen," in order
| to read SAE papers. This plugin limits use to on-screen viewing
| and making a single printed copy, and does not work on Linux 
| or Unix platforms.
