According to the rector decision in my university, the university library will put all research articles under CC license and making it publicly available regardless of the journal!
This is an amazing news that promotes better research practices imho. I'm super glad that my university is taking these measures towards open and accessible science.

Prior licence model at University of Turku from 1 April 2026

The University of Turku has adopted a prior licence model for research articles by decision of the Rector (TY/440/2026). The model follows the internationally adopted Rights Retention Strategy (RRS), which ensures open access of all the University’s peer-reviewed research articles in the institutional repository immediately upon publication under a Creative Commons licence required by the funder.

Hopefully Sailfish will also get fully OpenSource so that we can have FLOSS OS on all desktop, servers and phones.

Glad to finally hear from you. I was getting worried for Mastodon friends. Stay safe and take care. Parch project will get back on its feet, I'm sure of it. I just hope all FLOSS devs, Fedizens, and friends inside #Iran are safe, both physically and mentally.

It's also great to hear that the advocacy for @delta before the war was not in vain.
