DP:  Now, of course, this may or may not be true for the large publishers
who are nursing large profit margins, but let's remember that probably
half of all journals are published by small (often society) publishers who
only publish one or two title each.

JE:  It is precisely the smaller publishers who have the most to lose with
OA.  Elsevier and Wiley have the resources to work with this, but pity the
poor publisher who listens to SPARC on this matter.
