Not sure that the first condition is always possible, but very happy with the other three conditions

Important work.

All four of these clauses are eminently reasonable, and no reasonable publisher would argue against any of them. (They also apply to journals in fields other than linguistics.)

For those of us working in developing economies, prohibitive APCs prevent us from sharing our work -- and lack of open access prevents our growing population of university students from engaging with material that is relevant to them. OA is the only way.

Knowledge should ALWAYS be open access. Thank you for taking a stand.

Quality is not equal to ownership and restriction. It should imply opening knowledge to all kind of referees, not only the academic ones.

Open is the way forward.

Researcher-led fully-fledged open access is the way forward. Scholars need ownership over their own work. Ownership implies the freedom to enhance our "impact" (as required by funders and employers) but most importantly it implies the humanities can reach out those traditionally excluded from our work, hence advancing the cause for the relevance and urgency of the humanities to the society at large, not just academia and corporate publishers.

Every scholar in every field will soon move in this direction -- or betray their scholarly mission in favor of unsustainable and unfair profit machines.
