I think "allowed" is probably the wrong term. Springer said informally back whenever that it didn't
attempt to enforce its copyright if you did that. And then they got stricter round about the 2012
time frame, which is inter alia why SCSC left them, as I understand it.

Elsevier says in writing somewhere on its WWW site that it does not contest self-publishing by
academics. So that has changed also. I am guessing that it is a response inter alia to the newish UK
requirement for open access for results of government-sponsored research. The publishing house then
doesn't have to implement it itself.
