It's the first time I'm hearing about the Berlin Declaration. :)

Perhaps the first time you'd heard of it directly, but you used the term "open access" as if everyone were familiar with it, so you'd apparently been hearing about it indirectly for many years.

It's almost like that declaration doesn't have the impact you seem to think it does.

Open access means just that to most people, not free reign to do whatever you like with the content as the hosting piece isn't all that relevant.
