Yes.. this is indeed a problem.. perhaps there could be a list of citations
specifically to open journal articles (many journals make papers public
after some period of time), in addition to ones that are only available
with a subscription. After all, many of those looking to use matplotlib in
a scientific publication are usually at an institution with access. That
way people who don't have access don't have to waste time finding links
that work for them.

Many journals copyright the final product, so an author could only 'donate'
a figure to the gallery if they had written permission from the journal
that published their paper. Lame, I know.
Similarly, if someone wishes to reproduce a figure for news coverage or a
review article, they need permission from the journal, not the author.
