The problem and potential solution are explained here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:OA-ness

However adding those icons everywhere is a big change, and it needs to
be discussed on the project, e.g.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Citation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Academic_Journals
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:VPPRO

btw, the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany Open Access Catalogue
hosted on wikipedia seems to be replicating much of the work already
being done on the OAD wiki.
