After it’s published, do you get to do whatever you want with it? Like put it on your own website with a link to where it was published?

no. but sometimes you can buy distribution rights from the journal for thousands of dollars!

It's common practice to share papers when requested for no fee.

But the fact that you can’t just post it publicly is crap.

You can on Research Gate.

In France, we are allowed by law to share the final text of any paper for free after a 6-month embargo, whatever the publishing licence we signed.

6 months sounds reasonable.

Well, it does preserve the scientific editing system to a large extand so yes. I would prefer there is no embargo at all, because I'm paid with public funds and I don't see the point of paywalls, but I get the Government has a to be gentle to the international editing scene to some point.
