Thanks for sharing this, Michael. There's an interesting publisher-centric perspective on Springer Nature's move at https://www.ce-strategy.com/the-brief/end-of-a-bargain/#1, including the Rights Retention Strategy for open access, and why CC BY licenses are bad for authors 🤔😄

On the other side of things, JAMA has a new policy on public access:

Beginning in 2023, JAMA and all of the journals in the JAMA Network will adopt a new policy that permits authors of original research investigations to deposit their accepted manuscript in a public repository of their choosing immediately on the day that the manuscript is published by the JAMA Network. The “accepted manuscript” is the fully peer-reviewed version of the manuscript that has been revised in response to review and is judged acceptable for publication; additional edits, refinements, and enhancements will still appear in the version of record that is published in the JAMA Network and to which the accepted manuscript that is deposited will link.
