This is helpful! Thank you. I also just read the newly updated ARC learning modules guidelines on Open Source Software. |

I think you meant to write that diamond and gold are libre; and bronze, green, and hybrid are gratis. Currently it's the other way round. |

There's a lot of different terminology around open access, particularly around various levels of open access. I thought it might be helpful to aggregate some of the disparate information into one source on the TOPS Github, which is below! This is sourced from Open Book Publishers, Researcher.Life, and Taylor & Francis.There are many kinds of open access, but they broadly fit into three categories: libre, which is open access that allows content to be free to read and generally, there are no barriers for reuse, gratis, which is open access that allows content to be free to read, but has barriers for reuse, and then there's one level (black) that fits into neither libre nor gratis.
Gratis
Libre
Neither Gratis Nor Libre
