Yes that's it. Books that are non longer commercially used (ie : books that are out of print that publishers don't bother to reprint for one reason or an other) will be listed, and the BNF (that has a copy of each books published in France) will digitize it and make it available on the Internet (but not for free) through the process explained in the law. The money issued from the sales will be shared between the publisher and the author (or his/her heirs). When, at least, the book will fall in the public domain, then, I think (hope) it will be available for free. That what I understood
