Hello all,
I'm weighing in late also, so apologies for that. I'd also like to thank folk like Mathieu for practicing such patience in aiming to respect all voices. This doesn't make for an easy or quick process -- but I too am hoping the journal can submit this in time, as being part of such an index would be a big boost for JoPP. So Mathieu, if you need any help getting it in last-minute, please let me know.
My very small 2c on this debate in summary, having read through the interesting -- and I think, important -- discussion today (and also as the most heated arguments for/against different 'open' licenses, like maxigas notes, have already been argued by each of us over the years), is that the CC-BY-SA license seems to be best -- in this case.
Why? My reading is that almost everyone here (and it seemed, in earlier threads on the topic) who advocated for CC-0 are also fine with CC-BY-SA. However, there remain various folk who will be offended by the potentialities of corporate/commercial use in CC-0. By choosing CC-BY-SA, the journal can stand by its original principles, align itself with other 'open' projects such as Wikipedia who have used CC-BY-SA successfully for many years, and ensure it does not alienate current/future authors who chose to submit to an 'open' journal.
Again, this is just my 2c, and as a newer member of this community I am happy to go with whatever everyone else thinks is best. And again, available to help where needed to push this through in time.
