Dwelling on the somewhat esoteric for a moment
OA allows current thinking to be CURRENT for everyone.
OA allows greater collaboration by greater numbers of people interested or with expertise in the topic presented
OA contributes to the general literacy of the community and with the benefits of the distribution enabled by the Highway of Light, the World has become the community.
OA knows no boundaries, whether they are Political, Territorial, or Profit Generating which while being a continuing argument against it, is a compelling reason for it.
As I a have said, and has now been repeated in other venues, Camp One exists because Open Access exist and that for us, is reason enough to fight for it.
Dare I suggest that if we take the profit out of access in the first instance, everyone will profit in the second.
