Hélène,

You are absolutely (as well as relatively) right!

Let’s hope it leads to concrete implementation sooner than  the “Berlin Declaration <http://www.dlib.org/dlib/march05/harnad/03harnad.html>”
of 2003 (still not implemented in 2016).

But let’s also remember that it is not declarations or petitions <http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/harnad/Hypermail/Amsci/0934.html> or even attention 
that OA has lacked since at least 1994 <http://poynder.blogspot.ca/2014/06/the-subversive-proposal-at-20.html>: 
It’s action.

The 22+ years needlessly lost so far are irretrievable. The question (for future historians <http://www.dlib.org/dlib/december99/12harnad.html>) 
will be how many more were lost, since 2016, until the optimal, inevitable and obvious 
outcome — fully within reach for decades — was at last grasped?

After all, OA is not (and never has been) rocket science. It’s just  raincoat science <http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/179-Raincoat-Science.html>.

But I’m just repeating myself...

>>> Constatant le poids politique d'un très petit nombre d'éditeurs privés et leur activisme contre la loi auprès des cabinets (Recherche, Education, Culture, Premier Ministre, Elysée), nous avons décidé, avec les co-auteurs de la tribune parue dans Le Monde le 7 mars dernier, de la transformer en pétition sur Change.org <http://change.org/>, afin de collecter la signature des "chercheurs de terrain". Notre objectif est d'atteindre plusieurs milliers de signatures avant le vote de la loi.
