What you're saying is meaningless. This concerns knowledge that's already public. Open access simply means that laypeople and institutions would be able to access something for free that others are currently paying for. It's not secret in as much that books sold for profit aren't secret.
- Thobr 9y agoIt is not clear from article, there no word published, " All scientific papers should be freely available by 2020" and "The means are still somewhat vague but the determination to reach the goal of having all scientific articles freely accessible by 2020 is welcome," I can decrypt it a little bit :it would be great if European leaders cared about access to articles, but there are other possibilities for example this burocratique organization need some more finances or of we consider that magazines should be recompensed so financial group controlling some publisher is lobbing it in order to make more money, in your opinion does it make sense?
