Peter Suber is reporting on Open Access News that MIT has released a short FAQ on their new open access policy. The FAQ answers questions about scope (only scholarly articles) and effective date (from March 18, 2009 onwards). From the FAQ:
Many of the written products of faculty effort are not encompassed under this notion of scholarly article: books, popular articles, commissioned articles, fiction and poetry, encyclopedia entries, ephemeral writings, lecture notes, lecture videos, or other copyrighted works. The Open Access Policy is not meant to address these kinds of works.
