The term "self-archiving" is not well-defined, but one natural meaning
includes only as putting the paper on *your own* web server.

That is not sufficient. Mirror sites are vital to make material
accessible, and to prevent it from being lost.

In order to have mirror sites, you need to permit mirror sites, which
means you need to insist on keeping the rights to permit mirror sites.
