Three of the foundational statements in open access -- the Budapest,
Bethesda, and Berlin statements -- mention certain rights that must be
available to users (which are not necessarily guaranteed to users under
standard limitations and exceptions), without specifically mentioning
Creative Commons licenses. See Peter Suber's essay on the "BBB"
definition of open access:

I've never had an idea that couldn't be improved by sharing it with as
many people as possible -- and I don't think anyone else has, either.
