    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    That's nice. I would just add two important dates in-between the
    XVIIth century and 1991:<br>
    *1886: Bern Convention acknowledges a "de facto" open access.
    According to the art. 7, all articles in periodicals (including
    scientific journals) can be freely reproduced unless the
    authors/editors explicitely stated otherwise. That's merely a
    continuation of similar provisions in bilateral treaties since the
    mid-XIXth century (and more broadly of an ancient general tolerance
    for periodicals reprinting, especially in scientific publishing).<br>
    *1908: the Berlin Congress withdraws this disposition.
    Copyright/authors rights becomes the default standard — and open
    access licenses/permission have to be explicitely stated.<br>
    <br>
    I've put more details in here : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://scoms.hypotheses.org/409">http://scoms.hypotheses.org/409</a>

        itself not full open access as I would define it (though better
        than pay-walled, obviously). <br>
