Indeed, these are the very terms I managed to obtain from Elsevier when I
published my little article on the Green and Gold roads in Serials
Review, a couple of years ago. It did take a few e-mails to get there,
but there it got.

In the end, I retained the full copyright and Elsevier got a
non-exclusive right of publication from me. Period.

And, apparently, it did not affect their bottom line... :-)

      Jan,  lots of publishers are prepared to offer a simple
      "licence to publish in a journal", with the author retaining
      ALL other rights.  The publisher does not get "all the
      dissemination rights", just the right to disseminate within
      the vehicle of the journal, leaving the author free to
      disseminate using, e.g., web pages, repositories and so on. 
      The publisher usually requires a cross-reference to the
      journal bibliographic citation, which is fair enough.
