Caltech Library System's homegrown Online Journal Database (OJDB) has 6,000
active titles.  The database version was created by grabbing the HTML pages
which are laid out in tables and parsing them as delimited files.  Filtering
for fulltext and excluding licensed material (there's an obvious flag) would
provide the kind of subset for which you are searching.

Details of the OJDB creation process are available in this paper
<http://resolver.library.caltech.edu/caltechLIB:2001.005>.  CaltechLIB is
one of the constituent repositories of the Caltech CODA (Collections of Open
Digital Archives) <http://coda.caltech.edu>.  Caltech CODA currently
provides access to over 1,000 papers, technical reports, and books authored
at Caltech.
