“The campaign for OA focuses on literature that authors give to the world without expectation of payment.” however “Scholars write journal articles because advancing knowledge in their fields advances their careers. They write for impact, not for money.” and “…subject to proper attribution of authorship….”

Although the Rights Office and Intellectual Contributions proposal considers monetary reward an important aspect for many authors and creators it does not insist on this. The RO system does, however, insist on persistent identification of ‘attribution and authorship’ and provides this in a self-regulating fashion as a work enters the commons.

By the way, the Intellectual Contributions model also considers ‘review’ as a contribution to the work.
