It seems just a trifle odd that a for-profit, mostly toll-access publisher has created a one-time special award for a "Non-Librarian Working for Our Cause" in order to recognize Peter Suber "for his excellent work in managing the influential SPARC Open Access Forum (blog) and the Open Access Newsletter".

Nonetheless, there you have it, and congratulations to Peter, who richly deserves all OA-related honors that come his way.
