[OpenID] OpenID and e-journals

[Valerie]

Thanks Dmitry and Ben for your answers, I really discovered something
important for my job today, you can't just imagine.

Ben:
 Oh yes, I can understand that IP recognition is insecure and
privacy-invading. But try to negociate a one site licence with Wiley, for a
journal which is actually read by 15 people on one site (Brussels)... Wiley
tells you then that, as the potential readers are 15000 (one IP for all our
European sites, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands...), you have to
buy a multi-site licence, which is not really at the same price...
Well anyway, I could write long messages about that, but that's another
problem !
