Maximilian Herberger, Rechtswissenschaftliche Texte und elektronisches Publizieren: Zehn Thesen für die deutsche Diskussion, originally published in Gedächtnisschrift für Dieter Meurer, ed. Eva Graul and Gerhard Wolf, De Gruyter Recht, 2002, pp. 655 - 664. Herberger's 10 theses succinctly describe the advantages of open-access publishing, and are not at all limited to scholarship in law. Also see this discussion of Herberger's theses, comparing his position to that of BOAI and SPARC. (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
