As Andre says in the link, mathematical knowledge should be free.
But a problem in boycotting Elsevier is that jobs and grants depend on
the dreadful system based on the impact factor of journals.
A good way of making mathematical knowledge free is to send all
mathematical knowledge to the arXiv.
Also, to upload as much as possible mathematical knowledge to the net,
legally or illegally. To create a math-megaupload.
