Great news, but there are some errors in the article: scholars would be free to post the final accepted manuscript of their article, not the final version, and also, gold journals are not transformative (as they have nothing to transform to), only hybrid/subscription journals can be transformative, that is if they pledged to transform into a fully OA journals (Gold journals).
