IEEE appears to offer optional paid gratis OA (not BOAI-compliant) with no clear re-use licence statement in the 'open access' PDFs they publish.
e.g. this article http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TED.2012.2188632 is indicated as 'open access' with a logo in the contents page http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?sortType%3Dasc_p_Sequence%26filter%3DAND%28p_IS_Number%3A6186852%29&pageNumber=2 more details on IEEE 'Open Access' from www.ieee.org/documents/ieee_open_access_faq_2011.pdf "This is a hybrid open access program that provides authors with an option to make their articles freely available to the public through IEEE Xplore®, in exchange for a fee to support publishing costs. This voluntary open access plan was first adopted on an experimental basis by two IEEE journals â IEEE Photonics Journal (est. 2009) and IEEE Magnetics Letters (est. 2010), and is now being implemented throughout the IEEE journal program, beginning in August 2011 with 77 journals produced through IEEE Publishing Operations, followed by journals produced by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society... Any article designated as âopen accessâ in these journals is automatically made publicly accessible, at no charge to the user. Other articles in the journal remain available only to paid subscribers. " * cost to authors : "the IEEE has established a uniform fee of $3,000 for open access publication in any of its journals" * list of IEEE journals that allow optional paid hybrid 'open access': http://ieee.org/documents/ieee_journals_with_oa.pdf * Where do the collected author fees go? Author payments will be directed to Societies sponsoring the respective journals, just as voluntary page charges and other fees are channeled. * If an author pays the IEEE Open Access charge, would his or her article still be subject to an overlength page charge? Yes. The two fees have distinct rationales: IEEE Open Access supports the cost of preparing an article for posting on the open web. Overlength page charges support the costs of printing extra pages above a standard length set by the journal. I'll add IEEE to my spreadsheet. If you know of any other journal publishers that aren't listed in my spreadsheet. Please let me know.
