      Yes, but the problem is that the authors of closed articles did sign a copyright transfer agreement (because they basically had no other option). Government cannot and should not override it against the will of the business companies. And this extends to the public.

      For these closed articles it’s the authors’ burden to release the draft. That act is almost always permitted by the signed agreement.
