Gold or Green?
During my talk yesterday I mentioned the difference between “Green” and “Gold” forms of Open Access, which always makes me think of a scene from Blackadder II. I mentioned this in the talk and it seems not everyone in the audience was aware of the cultural reference, so here is the clip in question. It doesn’t have anything to do with Open Access, of course, but I think it is very funny.

To me “the green and the gold” is a reference to Australia’s rugby union team.

Also Fern Hill, by Dylan Thomas: “And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman…”
