  1. In the lower right corner, "Most preferred license" is in percent of what? It is hard to guess with two percentages that indicate that "most preferred" is somehow not mutually exclusive between the two, i.e. clearly it is not for example "81% of OA journals use CC-BY-NC while 71% of OA journals use CC-BY instead"...
