  I did accept the agreement, and today received the access to
  OAIster at no charge. I placed it at 

http://openlib.org/home/krichel/oclc_watch/OAIster_Welcome.doc

  so that others can contemplate the prize that will be theirs
  when they accept the agreement.

  I understand the agreement is being reworked.

  Cheers,
