free science!!

I just discovered on slashdot that the Royal Society is making its ENTIRE journal archive (read: dating from 1665) free and open to the public for the next two months. You do have to register on the Royal Society site, but that takes all of twenty seconds.

Go and rejoice in free knowledge!

It's tied in to great work in the area of arts & culture, via the hub site, http://www.creativecommons.org

Oh cool! I'll have a poke around their website. I'm a big fan of Creative Commons licensing (though I certainly know much less about the legal details than you).
