Context point:
«Form 990 is used by tax-exempt organizations, nonexempt charitable
trusts, [...] to provide the IRS [U.S. revenue service] with the
information required by section 6033.», and that section is around
conflict of interest and "reportable transactions".

Indeed - Green OA is simply the right to make available for reading
(and usually in fairly constrained circumstances). Direct reuse
doesn't enter into it.

"Open access" is a very multifaceted term. :-)

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Bad usage of money in Brazil

2014-05-22 Thread Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton
Hey Pine,

For me, this is just a small and visible part of the iceberg, sadly.
I not will go deeper in that, because I do not have stomach for, patiences,
and way to do that.

I already send massages to Asaf pointing this, in respect. But thanks for
the tip.

Cheers.
