This puts the power into the hands of the author, who could decide if they want this as part of the open license. Rather than the current robinhood type system.
Does this already exist, anyone seen anything similar?

Not to mention completely non-enforceable. You're forbidding people to say "David et al. [3] did a work in this area"
So how about if part of the agreement of accessing an open article was that any published work citing it would have to be open too. is that absurd in principle? and is it really non-enforceable?
An offshoot of this would be that anyone who goes on to cite something in a non-open article, could academically be accused of not reading the article their citing, and therefor mis-attributing information. This could lessen there creditability or even be grounds for a specific type of plagiarism.
