Hi Colin,
I have actually asked this very question of Wiley-Blackwell since the
merger as I was very concerned about any new copyright position. I was
told at the time (just after the merger happened) that the individual
conditions still applied (i.e. one set for Wiley and one set for
Blackwell) but in my opinion, that's extremely confusing, and quite
probably unworkable from the repository management point of view. So I'm
not aware of any formal annoucement, but would add my voice to those
calling for one.
Best wishes,
Sarah

Have there been any calls for Wiley-Blackwell to announce a joint policy
on open access archiving since their merger? Is there anyone from
Wiley-Blackwell on this list that can answer?
As most people will be aware, before merging with Blackwell, Wiley did
not allow archiving of the author's final accepted draft manuscript in
institutional repositories. Blackwell, on the other hand, did. There is
not yet a joint listing on Sherpa-Romeo, and I'm not aware of any other
formal announcement. If and when a new policy is announced,
clarification on what is allowed regarding newly deposited papers that
have a publication date prior to the merger would also be needed.
