Abstract
This article examines the relationship between Open Access to the scholarly literature and innovation. It traces the ideas of "end to end" network principles in the Internet and the World Wide Web and applies them to the scholarly biomedical literature. And the article argues for the importance of relieving not just price barriers but permission barriers.
