Isn't it a reasonable request though to demand of university researchers funded by public dollars to be required to publish freely to the public since the public payed for it? Also they can double publish, it could be more of a "all papers are published here for public archival purposes but you can still submit to the journals you want." sort of thing. The status quo is absolutely unnaceptable.
