I read the FAQ and noticed this:
"Making the Early Journal Content freely available is something we
have planned to do for some time. It is not a direct reaction to the
Swartz and Maxwell situation, but recent events did have an impact on
our planning."
Anyone know what that is about?

Swartz:

Maxwell is ours, see

I corresponded personally with Jstor, but could not get anyone at the
Wikimedia foundation to discuss material in the public domain with them.
They seem to have gone ahead and made a commitment to make material that
is in the public domain available. I haven't tried to make of copy of
anything yet; however, they have terms of service conditions which seem
to allow only access, not reuse.
