Moreover, all the examined policies but the one of University of Padova [\textit{“[L]’Università si impegna a rimuovere gli ostacoli anche di ordine finanziario che impediscono la politica di open access”}.] are silent regarding funding for APCs (Article Processing Charges).  To conclude, we can state that – even if \textit{“a transition to green [open access] self-archiving already rests entirely in the hands of the research community (researchers, their institutions and their funders), whereas a transition to gold [open access] publishing depends on the publishing community”} (PRIEST, p. 392) – Universities could anyway give a helping hand towards the transition to Gold OA, by making easier and more advantageous for researchers to choose it.  \textbf{7. \textbf{6.  Open licensing conditions} \textit{“The term open access is used to denote public availability of scientific output (publications and data) without payment and re-use restriction”} (GUIBAULT Chapter 7, p. 374). Actually, Open Access can be split in two sub-categories: free access and libre access.  The definition reported here above coincides with the latter, which corresponds to the more comprehensive implementation of Open Access: in fact – with libre access –, not only access to scientific publications becomes free (\textit{“without payment”}), but also it becomes possible to freely make uses which copyright law otherwise exclusively reserves to authors (\textit{“without […] re-use restrictions”}).
