@larsvilhuber excellent resource, thank you for bringing this to our attention! Just briefly scrolled through the descriptions, and was wondering: Is it true that all content referenced by REPEC is open access in one way or the other? I just tried some of the links, and those I sampled didn't mention open licensing or other attribution of any sort ...

Here's an excerpt from a working paper (sorry, not yet public) that I wrote last year:
Since grey literature at the time was not
cataloged or indexed by most bibliographic indexes, a distinct effort to identify both working
papers and the novel electronic versions grew from modest beginnings in 1992 at Université de
Montréal and elsewhere into what is today known as the Research Papers in Economics
(RePEc) network, a “collaborative effort by hundreds of volunteers in 99 countries” (25–27). The
initial index was split into electronic (WoPEc) (28) and printed working papers (BibEc) (26, 29),
testimony to the prevalence of the exchange of scientific research in semi-organized ways.
Economists had, in fact, access to a central repository for submitting working papers, based on
the arXiv system, but it seems to not have been very popular, in contrast to the decentralized
working paper archives (28). In 1997, BibEc counted 34,000 working papers from 368 working
paper series (30). RePEc today has data from around 4,600 working paper series and claims
about 2.5 million full-text (free) research items, provided in a decentralized fashion by about
2,000 archives (31). These items not only include traditional research papers, but also, since
1994, computer code (32–34). Although still cataloging mostly grey literature, RePEc
bibliographic metadata is, in fact, indexed by all major bibliographic indexes.

ReDIF documentation: http://openlib.org/acmes/root/docu/redif_1.html
The only encoding of anything resembling a license is in the "File-restriction:" field:
Restriction: A restriction on the retrieval of a file. If the file can be retrieved by anybody with Internet access without any preliminary payment or registration, you should not use that field at all. As soon as there is a restriction on the file many services will be assuming that there is no public access to the file. Some user services may wish to display only non-restricted files and your file will not appear there. If all files of a document are restricted, please use the field Restriction: in the template of the resource, rather than repeating it for each file of the resource.
All ReDIF files are on a public server, so it should be feasible to parse them for any additional info.

Excellent, thank you, I will try and work this in today! :)
