Not directly, but wouldn't it open up a box of issues where publishers make it harder for authors who distribute their papers for free to get published the next time around?
Not in the way the current system works because the publishers are doing nothing, they are just taking the papers as reviewed by the committee as-is.
In fact, with this law, we are most likely going to see is that the universities will automatically hook into something like: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/
When you submit a paper to a journal, your university normally request that you submit your paper to the internal university store. This store will then automatically push your paper to this open access library after X months.
If this moves this way, publishers would have to say: French researchers cannot publish with us any more....
