I don't really mind WMF working with closed-access publishers, if that works. What I think is that we don't put the same effort indoing something with the openaccess world: all the initiatives I know are volunteer-based.
Two pop up in my mind: the Signalling Open Access project, aimed to put an icon aside every reference in Wikipedia, to signal if the article is OA or closed. Ask Daniel Mietchen for updates.
The other one is the possibility of uploading thousands of articles in wikisource, directly in HTML. Remember, we have Wikipedia Zero: putting stuff onWikisource means having a free digital library to everyone.
According to https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Mobile_partnerships and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Zero , it is Wikipedia only. Is that out of date? Does it now include Wikisource?
