I might make works available on a physical device such as a SSD. I reserve the right to charge for the memory stick and possibly the labour involved. The OKF (sic) anticipated this in the Open Definition (in which I participated) which states (http://opendefinition.org/od/2.1/en/ ) >>1.2 Access The *work* *must* be provided as a whole and at no more than a reasonable one-time reproduction cost, and *should* be downloadable via the Internet without charge. Any additional information necessary for license compliance (such as names of contributors required for compliance with attribution requirements) *must* also accompany the work. >>1.3 Machine Readability The *work* *must* be provided in a form readily processable by a computer and where the individual elements of the work can be easily accessed and modified. >>1.4 Open Format The *work* *must* be provided in an open format. An open format is one which places no restrictions, monetary or otherwise, upon its use and can be fully processed with at least one free/libre/open-source software tool. << Note the use of "a reasonable one-time reproduction cost". This means that I might ask a re-user for (say) 20 USD for media. But the re-user can then re-copy at their own expense without permission and could offer it to others without charge. HM>I argue that this is one of the reasons OA repositories are necessary to sustain OA.

Open repositories and maybe national libraries are the primary guarantee of indefinite Openness. There have (I believe) been examples of Open Access journals being purchased and then disappearing. There is also the problem of "hybrid" open access becoming closed by "mistake". I have certainly highlighted this in the past. IMO Libraries should be assiduousy ingesting "hybrid" and publicising the contents and location and adding search engines.
