Why does this initiative provide a smaller reimbursement for open charges associated with non-OA journals and larger reimbursement for publishing in OA journals?
Although articles are freely available for reading in both instances, articles in OA journals are free of restrictions on re-use while non-OA journals normally limit your right to redistribute, to make derivative copies (including translations), or to use for educational purposes. These restrictions limit the value of the open option to the scholarly community in the longer term.
