@mhoye Well, there is a political solution: in France, a law from 2016 allows (public) researchers to open-access their own articles. Almost all science from France ends up as PDF on https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/
Some French universities even **require** their staff to open-access everything.
The only thing an editor can ask is an embargo of max. 6 months (12 months for social sciences)
This was not easy, but there is a big "open science" movement in France.
