It has been a while, and even then I wasn't sure what the usage  
limitations were.
But,
If I remember correctly access to the OA libraries was only available  
after a paper application and even then you were only granted access  
to old versions of the libraries.  In addition no one would be able  
to use any software you developed unless they went through the same  
process.

Perhaps I am mistaken, or perhaps things have changed since that last  
time I checked.
Personally I thought OA looked very promising.
