From Springer's "copyright transer statement": An author may self-archive an author-created version of his/her article on his/her own website. He/she may also deposit this version on his/her institution's and funder's repository at the funder request or as a result of a legal obligation... Many publishers have a similar clause. My institution (a french research institute) also requires me to put my publications on their public repository and it does not create problems for journals in CS. Non-false title may be "Princeton bans publishers from handling copyright to journal publishers who ban authors from publishing their articles on their website."

The key word here is "author-created version". After publication you are allowed to put a preprint version of your manuscript on your website but you can't upload the PDF of your final paper. Most people do that anyway but it's technically not allowed. Princeton wants to stop this.

  Again, it varies by publisher. For instance, CUP (at least for the type of journals that I read) allows the author to put up a preprint (before peer review) or a postprint (after review but before editing) on a personal page or the institutional repository immediately on acceptance; once the final version is available on their website (I think), you can also put it up on your own page; and once a year has passed after publication, you can also upload it to the repository. It's not optimal, but it's much better than nothing.

    It does vary widely from publisher to publisher. Here is a database of publisher policies on this issue: http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/ http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/

  So that means Princeton requires publishers to hand all their copyright to Princeton? Not that it adds much value but the published article contains the logo of the publisher, some work done by the publisher's typesetters and occasionnaly other copyrighted materials.
