Nature journals reveal terms of landmark open-access option

The journals will charge authors up to €9,500 to make research papers free to 
read, in a long-awaited alternative to subscription-only publishing. ...

This is a good move, in that it makes clear the cost of publishing.

Previously, the cost was hidden in each university library budget. Authors were imposing costs on all universities by choosing to publish in expensive journals, without that coming from their budget.
