[SENSIBILISATION] Lama n°4 : articles scientifiques retirés pour avoir utilisé des logiciels "unlicensed"

[Françoise CONIL <francoise.conil AT insa-lyon.fr>]

bonjour,

Si le numéro 4 n'a pas été encore publié, cela irait parfaitement compléter l'idée à déconstruire "Si le code source est disponible, c'est un logiciel libre" bien qu'ici l'article évoque des conflits de license.

Last week, Dalmeet Singh Chawlaat Retraction Watch reported that two papers were retracted after a software company, Flow Science, reported they had used unlicensed software.

…

This story represents a rare case of papers being retracted for copyright reasons. However, as we’ve seen, copyright is becoming an increasingly important component of academic publishing. Jensen said they discovered the infringement because they regularly review citations of their software online.

…

Last month, we examined the story of BioRender, an application that lets users create diagrams for studies. Though the company does not claim ownership of final diagrams, it is very protective of the 50,000+ icons that make up its library.

When those diagrams are published in open-access articles, particularly under the CC-BY license, a copyright issue arises. BioRender’s license is incompatible with CC-BY, necessitating a separate designation or the use of different images.
