The June issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter "takes a close look at attempts to balance author and publisher rights, primarily in the "author addenda" from CIC, SPARC, and Science Commons, and in the position paper by the ALPSP, AAP/PSP, and STM. The round-up section briefly notes 99 OA developments from May."
As for all those acronyms:
CIC - Committee on Institutional Cooperation, a OA-friendly consortium of 12 research universities
SPARC - Scholarly Publishing & Academic Resources Constortium
ALPSP - Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers
AAP/PSP - Association of American Publishers / Professional/Scholarly Publishing
STM - International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers
