Peter MR,

I have some data and links in this article from last summer.
http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/07-02-11.htm#copyright

Here's the key excerpt (from #9):

When I checked last week (June 24, 2011), 1,448 out of 6,647 journals in

As of the same date, 747 or 11.2% had the SPARC Europe Seal of Approval,
