Following a collective reflection among the founding members of [[the Charity]], in [[Masticationpedia]] we do not consider belonging to the so-called '''Open Access''' all those licenses which, even if related to Creative Commons deeds, impose limits of the freedom of circulation and sharing of scientific works.
For instance, we do not recognise as '''Open Access''' those licenses which include "NC" (non commercial) and/or "ND" (no derivative works) and/or similar clauses.
Whatever the consideration they might obtain in other contexts, in Masticationpedia licenses such as "CC BY_NC", "CC BY_ND", "CC BY_NC-ND" and similar are ''not'' considered as '''Open Access'''.
