Rockefeller University Press adopts Creative Commons licensing

The Rockefeller University Press is pleased to announce a
new 
copyright policy, which is described in an editorial
published 
today in The Journal of Cell Biology: 
htt
p://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200804037

Essentially, authors retain copyright to their work, and we
have 
opened up all of our content to non-commercial reuse under a

Creative Commons License.  As a toll-access publisher, we
had to 
add a restriction during the first 6 months post-publication
to 
prevent people from creating free mirror sites.

The full text of the copyright policy is available here:
