However Elsevier are strongly asserting on CCC/Rightslink that they control
the re-use of this

>>Permission Not Allowed

>>According to the policies of Elsevier, use of this content in the manner

It is about time that the Universities and Libraries and Funders challenge
this.
It's nothing to do with "arXiv". The authors have, in good faith, paid
Elsevier huge amounts of money to buy "open access" and Elsevier have
published it in a framework where they assert all reuse-rights

Yes, there's a chance that if Elsevier took the re-users to court they
re-users might be vindicated, but that's not open access.
This is close to copyfraud.
