In my post, I highlighted two different things, one is that you had chosen a license that didn't seem to reflect your real intention. The second was that there was no mention of this license on the actual article page. After communicating with Dengshun Wang from your company, he has assured me that both of these issues will be rectified. That is great, and I am happy that you are so open to suggestions and advice. I hope other publishers will follow your example. Stian Daniel,

All articles from any journal published by e-Century Publishing Corporation (eCPC) was, are and will be open-access forever, including those published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology. Recently it was advised that some companies are trying to archive articles published in eCPC's Open Access Journals and "lock" them up, then ask readers to pay to access those articles. This is obviously against the publisher's intention to keep all articles open-access anywhere, anytime, no matter where they are archived and who archived them. That is why the Copyright Policy was revised to its current version. You are welcome to send your comments/suggestions on this issue to info@e-century.org. Always Publishing, Always Open Access.

We need to bring attention to this so publishers can either correct an oversight or clarify their intent. Great investigation and reporting.
