James Dalziel, Open Standards Versus Open Source in E-Learning, Educause Quarterly, 4 (2003) pp. 4-7. Not on open access, but a good discussion these two kindred concepts, showing for example how priced and closed-source software can comply with open standards. In our domain, think of the ingenta version of eprints, which complies with the open OAI standard. (Thanks to Gary Price.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
