"October is always an exciting month for the scientific community as we
anticipate the Nobel Prize announcements. In honor of this exciting
time, we've selected this month to make AIP content freely available."

Does this mean that the content is freely available STARTING IN October
or ONLY IN October?

As far as I can see it only applies to a
small number of journals (the ones listed
in the announcement, e.g. *not* Phys. Rev.
or Phys. Rev. Lett.)

It would at least be in style, then, to
limit the action to October only. :-)

Alas, it's not *all* AIP-published journals, but just a proper subset.
Notably, Physical Review [ABCDEL] and Reviews of Modern Physics are NOT
on the open-access-for-October list.

As a confirmation, I just tried to access a 25-year-old PRD paper from
a home (non-institional) IP address, and indeed the PRD website wouldn't
give me a PDF.
