That story about the MFN clause (if there is even a clause) is amusing. The academic publishing industry seems a bit like the film and recording industries. They do not want to face the fact that distribution and production are becoming less expensive. And they are going to fight to the end. But their high fee structures will eventually be unsustainable. UCal tried to take at least one of these publishers on some years ago, forcing them to renegotiate licensing terms. What ever became of that?
