  3. There are other variations of content licenses that are outside the scope of this paper, such as hybrid open access supplements subscriptions by an option to publish in open access, typically based on a large deal and/or additional fees. For example, Springer entered into a number of open access pilots with UKB, the Dutch consortium (2007-June 2012), University of Göttingen (from August 2007), Max Planck Society (2008-2009), the University of California (2009-2011), and others. The majority of these pilot agreements have since been discontinued by Springer with the following explanation: "The Board of Springer decided late 2009 not to enter into new (pilot) projects for Springer Open Choice. We believe Open Access Gold seems to be the way forward and therefore Springer has launched Springer Open."
