[I had an excerpt here but removed it 12/28/05 at Blooom's request. The full text of the article itself is still OA at the journal site.]
(PS: I suppose the lead time between submission and publication is the only reason why Bloom didn't mention the more recent and more significant UK development --the RCUK draft open access policy.)

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.
