<div dir="ltr">Interesting development. Thanks for forwarding, Dimi! From the press release, it sounds like they were focusing of accessibility rather than free reuse.

"Negotiations between Elsevier and universities failed (PRESS RELEASE<br>
VSNU, 4 November 2014)<br>
<br>
Universities want to move to Open Access publications<br>
<br>
Negotiations between the Dutch universities and publishing company<br>
Elsevier on subscription fees and Open Access have ground to a halt.<br>
In line with the policy pursued by the Ministry of Education, Culture<br>
and Science, the universities want academic publications to be freely<br>
accessible. To that end, agreements will have to be made with the<br>
publishers. The proposal presented by Elsevier last week totally fails<br>
to address this inevitable change. The universities hope that Elsevier<br>
will submit an amended proposal. ‘From now on we will inform our<br>
researchers about the consequences of this deadlock’, says Gerard<br>
Meijer, president of Radboud University Nijmegen and chief negotiator<br>
on behalf of the VSNU."<br>
