It is unclear to me what the real impact of this deal is. The article spends about one sentence describing the deal directly:
"All research with a UC lead author published in Elsevier’s extensive portfolio of hybrid and open access journals will be open access by default."
There are a lot of caveats here. It sounds like this only applies to some journals and some articles. There are a whole lot of vague quotes about how great this is though. I'd be interested to see a more detailed analysis of the impact this will have.

"All Cell Press and Lancet journals are part of the UC agreement. For these top journals, UC’s shared funding model — where the libraries share the cost of open access publishing with authors — will be phased in, with all Cell Press and Lancet journals integrated no later than 2023, midway through the four-year agreement." "a limited number of societies that partner with Elsevier for their publishing have chosen to exclude their journals from transformative agreements, so their journals are not eligible for either reading, publishing, or both under the agreement. A list of these exclusions will be available soon and linked from this page."
