The Scientist: Elsevier Abandons Anti-Open Access Bill

Recently some academics from the mathematical community started a ban on Elsevier. This was spurred by the editorial company's support of the RWA and by, what seems to be, a greedy commercial policy. Now Elsevier is giving it a thought and changing some of its policies, is it?
