Knowledge is a public good and increases in value as the number of people possessing it increases.

If a scientist is reading a paper online and clicks through to purchase material, there's value there. It might be a business model it might be enough to defray the cost of open access. I just want to create the infrastructure that makes movement and sharing easier.

The opposite of ‘open’ isn’t closed. The opposite of open is broken.

Every scientist would like to be able to move through research faster, to spend less time and money acquiring material or disseminating it.
