Are you opting out of BU's non-exclusive license to your work granted under the policy/requesting a waiver?
If the publisher requests that you opt out of BU's non-exclusive license to your work granted under BU's open access policy, and you (at your sole discretion) check the box below, the waiver is granted automatically. You will receive an automated email confirming this, which will be sent to the submitter's address above. We will supply you with a more formal letter if needed.
