Ignore it
Fight it• Forbid authors from depositing in repositories• Put out anti-OA misinformation• Support/fund anti-OA legislation
Join it – sort of...• Let authors deposit some version in repositories• Provide expensive OA publishing options

Review and edit OA
“I pledge to devote most of my reviewing and editing efforts to manuscripts destined for open access. For other manuscripts, I will restrict myself to one review by me for each review obtained for me by an outlet that is not open access.”
