I think the 'forever' wording has been in there for a long time in relation to rights for work. It always surprised me that so many people uploaded new articles straight away, when their publishers will have also had a version of the 'forever' clause.

Certainly felt that way!

Hadn't heard of that one. Will check it out in a few weeks, when the exodus has died down.

Agree!

It's a rabbit hole (but with mermaids, or not-mermaids)!

Thanks, I already have. Opinion is split about what precisely they are. They are defined as merpeople today by many, but they may be swallow-people (linked with seasonal water patterns), humans in a state of transformation, and a few other things...

That's great and not unexpected! But, yes I can imagine it's sad too. Hope to catch up soon x

Oh no! And also wow congrats... that's the end of an era for sure. Lakes permanently now?

No problem!

Don't have online access, but apparently it's in our library, so I can check next time I'm in if nobody else can check sooner...
