It is a real issue. The programming languages and software engineering communities have been working on evaluating software artifacts for a few years now: http://www.artifact-eval.org/ http://www.artifact-eval.org/ This doesn't address open access, but it does make sure the software is usable by a non-author to reproduce the results of the paper.

@ open access: In my specific subfield of academic CS, a huge success story was ECOOP (one of the biggest conferences in the field) going open access last year. I'm hoping that there'll be other conferences following suit. My money is on open access being commonplace in 10-15 years.

  Note that ECOOP went open access partly under the leadership of jpolitz's advisor. :-)

    You had me confused for a second, I didn't realise I was talking to jpolitz :) Thanks for bringing that up. AFAICT, he (advisor) has done a lot to make that happen, indeed.
