[Air-L] open-source journals?

[goldenberg anne]

I agree with christian on the fact that it's less a business programm
but an ethic, scientific, epistemic, humanitarian programm that we have
to search behind Open Access.

In fact, Open access is a movement in itself, that could be related, in
some aspect, to open source or rather Free Software for the ethic of
freedom of use and diffusion that is associated with the project.

But each medium and movement having their own specificities, it might be
more relevant to look at the fundation and aims of the Open Acess
movement.
