This is a very good overview of open access, moving through subsequent definitions of open access beginning with the Budapest and Berlin declarations, describing different open access practices, including Suber's definitions of 'Green' and 'Gold' journal OA policies, licensing, and more. For readers unfamiliar with the landscape this paper is an essential read. For those looking for more depth, the paper introduces a book on the subject, Open Access: Key Strategic, Technical and Economic Aspects, most of which is (of course) freeely available online.
