"To law or not to law"

[Audrone Glosiene]

Dear colleagues and friends,

this is not the first time that I turn to you for your expert opinion on certain (usually, imporant:)) issues. Now it is whether to have national legislation on open acces or not. Currently we have a debate in Lithuania on OA and there are pros and cons, so I would highly appreciate if you could comment on just two aspects:
1. Is law (or any other form of legal regulation) on open acces, in your opinion, needed?
2. Could you please provide examples of such leislation whether from your country or elswhere?

Many thanks and my best wishes from rainy Vilnius,
