I believe that if you continue to hold all rights to your work, it
limits the journal publisher from making deals with commercial indexers
to include the journal content in published indexes and/or full-text
databases... although I'm as eager to profit as the next person, I
think I ultimately prefer what I write to be retrievable by others,
and thus possibly useful.
