From a GoodRelations perspective, the proper way would be to reference the periodical in an offer with a UnitPriceSpecification set to zero and an arbitrary currency.
I think the library community developed similar markup patterns.

Is there any ways to express the 'open access mode' of a schema:Periodical (eg fully open, hybrid, gold, etc.. see wikipedia)?
The schema:isAccessibleForFree property is useful but it supports only boolean values. Ideally one should be able to add a text qualifier.
The schema:accessMode property has a totally different meaning.

For Periodicals (and Articles?) there could be an argument for defining such a property (openAccessPolicy ?), as searching for Articles in Open Access Journals is an obvious use-case. That is different to searching for Journals with zero cost to access.
The expected value for such a property being Text or URL (liking to a definition of that policy type, in Wikidata for example.)
@mfhepp that's the kind of design pattern that gets us a reputation for being needlessly capitalistic in mindset! While it makes perfect sense from an e-commerce markup perspective, it rather frames the free flow of information and scholarly writing as a monetary matter. I can see why there might be interest in a different approach.
FWIW my colleagues in Google News last year wanted an idiom for dealing with paywalled news articles, and we came up with a pattern that uses 'isAvailableForFree', cssSelector, and a NewsArticle with hasPart pointing to specific bits that are paywalled off. It's probably not the final word on the matter but seems relevant here.
@lambdamusic - can you say a bit more about the kinds of text (or other non-binary) values you'd expect to see here?
+1 for Dan's sentiment.
Martin, not everything is an Offer.

@danbri I'm not an expert but looking at the data I'd say there are three levels:
Maybe [3] can be handled by schema:license. And [1] and [2] initially combined within the same property eg openAccessPolicy?
See issue #7 for the context of the move from the main Schema.org issue tracker to this repository.
