The SPARC Europe Seal is an award for Open Access Journals: “To qualify for the SPARC Europe Seal a journal must use the Creative Commons By (CC-BY) license which is the most user-friendly license and corresponds to the ethos of the Budapest Open Access Initiative.
The second strand of the Seal is that journals should provide metadata for all their articles to the DOAJ, who will then make the metadata OAI-compliant. This will increase the visibility of the papers and allow OAI-harvesters to include details of the journal articles in their services.”

There is absolutely no evidence that the articles of “Codrul Cosminului” have a CC-BY license on the journal website:
http://atlas.usv.ro/www/codru_net/info.html
Authors have to transfer the exclusive copyright to the journal. The notice “All journal content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles in this journal without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author.” cannot be interpreted as CC-BY license. In the PDFs (if there are PDFs – older issues have dead links) there is no CC notice which should be standard (IF a free license is choosen).
