Talk:Open Content Alliance

Conceived
Was it really conceived in response to the closed nature of google's book search and is it aim really to keep books in the public domain or just to blunt a potential competitive advantage and PR gain by google?Logicnazi 22:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


 * In the abscence of any response I'm editing the page to say things a bit more neutrally. Logicnazi 16:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


 * No, it was not created in direct response to the Google Settlement.

Microsoft
Now that MSN has stopped its scanning efforts, is it still a member of the OCA? Fothergill Volkensniff IV (talk) 12:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * To answer my own question, the OCA website doesn't list "members", rather just "contributors" (past and present). Updated article accordingly. Fothergill Volkensniff IV (talk) 12:37, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Open Book Alliance
Open Book Alliance should not redirect here. They are different groups, with diffferent purposes. OBA is a direct response to the Google Settlement and the OCA is not.

A new page for OBA should be created.
