I think that we both have come to the correct conclusions.

I will repeat this, that I had brought up in the post that disappeared into cyberspace, however. MUP has 9 books that they call Open Access. "Oh, wonderful, you may be thinking, 9 free books." No, they're not free at all. One that I spot-checked was £15 + VAT!

MUP you are now officially on my meanie list.
Look at the site more carefully. The cost is for either the paper book or the commercial ebook. Each of the Open Access books has a link below it saying "Click here to go to the OA version" which takes you to a page where you can download the book for free (as a DRM-free PDF).

For example:
