Hear. I recently because aware of this academic lockdown. Some fellows did a great work of FLOSS and as academics, are working towards tenure and part of that means publishing with 'reputable' publisher and there work is closed because of it. They describe a process where 99% of the people involved get close to nothing for their efforts, the authors gives away right and the publishers just get to sit on their pot'o'gold of academic knowlege and get student to pay inflated prices to use these works in school. ugh. So IIRC there are some publisher how are more liberal but then you have to find one that suites your field and meets with your schools faculty. ugh. Hear. Hear.
