"From 2020, all scientific publications on the results of publicly funded research must be freely available." is not "All European scientific articles". I've got at least three papers that wouldn't fall under that heading.

Changed the title.

I can see the evil people behind the TTIP getting in the way of this. Before this goes into effect, the US will execute order 66 and take all the articles down.

How is this related to the US at all?

If this actually pans out, it could be incredible. It always saddens me to get a link to a scientific paper and to hit my head on the paywall.

There's of course the "(partially) publicly funded" qualifier, but I don't remember too much privately funded research in the journals that I read as a CS undergrad, so hopefully it won't matter too much. (I guess other areas such as Chemistry, Biology might be more prone to falling under this qualifier?!?)
