Actually, the policy that we adopted is a bit different than that. What it means is that every faculty member agrees to give the university a nonexclusive license for every scholarly article we publish, regardless of the journal in which it is to be published. In turn, Harvard will be making all these articles -- again, regardless of the journal they'll be published in -- available in a free, online open access repository. (The policy is an opt-out: faculty may request a waiver for any given work.) The full text of the policy is on my blog at http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/palfrey/2008/05/07/hls-goes-open-access-unanimously/.
