No, the purpose of “repository-focused green open access” is not -- and
never has been -- "to prompt libraries to cancel journal subscriptions,
forcing publishers to restrict themselves to coordinating peer review at a
vastly reduced price from that currently charged for journal-focused “gold”
open access
<https://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/content/elseviers-open-access-edict-exposes-friction-between-green-and-gold-advocates#comment-form>"
(though that is indeed what I think will be the eventual outcome).

The purpose of green open access, mandated by universities and funders, is
(and always has been) *open access*.

Open access (Gratis
<http://legacy.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2008/08/greengold-oa-and-gratislibre-oa.html>)
means immediate (un-embargoed), free online access to the final
peer-reviewed drafts of peer-reviewed journal articles.
