I think it would be good to have subcategories at least for the major CC licenses, and particularly for CC BY and CC BY-SA. Any reservations? -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS ( talk) 23:02, 20 December 2011 (UTC) reply

I will go ahead and implement the subcategories then. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS ( talk) 19:18, 9 May 2012 (UTC) reply

I'd like to nominate this as a non-diffusing subcategory of the open access journals category; please see the WP guideline: Wikipedia:Categorization#Non-diffusing_subcategories. Rationale: (1) it is not immediately obvious for a layperson that CC implies OA; (2) OA does not require CC (it's not just uncategorization -- i.e., it can be OA without being CC); (3) some experts argue that the non-commercial clause of CC does not comply with the OA definition, thus creating "pseudo-open-access" journals (background on this third point: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]). Thanks for your thoughts (please keep the three points above separate). Fgnievinski ( talk) 03:20, 30 December 2014 (UTC) reply

• If there are no objections I plan to go ahead with the proposed modification. Fgnievinski ( talk) 01:31, 6 January 2015 (UTC) reply
