Pull quote: “Some of my defenders argue that it’s reasonable for an author of a book that will become OA to ask for an embargo period in order to earn some royalties. I agree, and btw, I say as much in the book itself. But there’s a simpler response in my case. I didn’t ask for the embargo. On the contrary, I asked for immediate or unembargoed OA, and failed to get it. The one-year embargo is a compromise with MIT Press.” - Stephen le Francoeur
