Peter,
The intention was to survey the types of licence used in HYBRID journals
and to allow people to judge whether the licences (and the fees) were
appropriate. It's only a few days old.

We did not add fully Open Access (gold) journals unless someone finds
examples which have CC-NC or even more restrictive examples.

Sage, Springer and others are there because I suspect they have both OA
journals and Hybrids. The comparion of licences and prices is particularly
valuable in these cases.

As I said it's a few days old and if there is material that wrong or
incomplete feel free to edit.
