Klaus Graf, Embargo-Zeitschriften: Kein Open Access, Archivalia, January 30, 2009. An argument for libre OA licenses. Because these licenses are irreversible, they prevent publishers from adding access restrictions to an article retroactively. Read it in German or Google's English.

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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
