Agreed:

Science must “push copyright aside” – GNU Project – Free Software Foundation (FSF): “The modern technology for scientific publishing, however, is the World Wide Web. What rules would best ensure the maximum dissemination of scientific articles, and knowledge, on the Web? Articles should be distributed in nonproprietary formats, with open access for all. And everyone should have the right to ‘mirror’ articles—that is, to republish them verbatim with proper attribution.”

There are many great resources that we are prevented from using in my Middle School Science classes because they are behind a proprietary copyright wall.
