The open science movement Revolution is underway

The open science movement Revolution is underway starts with a quote:

‘Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. The world’s entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations.’ Aaron Swartz, in Guerilla Open Access Manifesto, 2008

and then describes how open science has developed. Well worth a read.
