Abstract: Problems concerning Open Access to human creative works, especially scientific works is complex. Development of research and growing number of scholarly papers as well as other materials demand systemic solutions – both in national and international perspective. The article outlines legal and practical problems concerning Open Access to scientific works – the basic phenomenon tending to ensure free development of sciences in the context of local, European and international cooperation and progress. The author describes the history of Open Access movement, starting in the 1980s with the development of free software trend and followed by Creative Commons licensing solutions. The first decade of the new millennium has brought many great strides in popularization of Open Access. Many initiatives of this kind have appeared launched by various actors. The basic legal problems of Open Access are obtaining research materials to on-line repositories and – on the other hand – liability of repository providers in the context of potential breaches of copyright.
