When people freely share, it makes things better for everyone

What do you wish were more open?

Academic research and cultural/historical collections. As I stated above, without open access I’d be pretty much cut off from scholarly research. Keeping knowledge behind a pay-wall is never a good thing. It really disappoints me when access to knowledge is placed behind a price tag. liberate I don’t wish to disparage any non-open/free effort to make knowledge more accessible, but I much prefer seeing things like the British Library’s digital edition of Cotton MS Vitellius A XV (The Beowulf Manuscript) than products like those produced by Evellum.
