Closest company I've heard that does it is posthaven.com

Granted, there's nothing legally binding. But it's one of their selling points.

Thanks, this is an example of what I was looking for. We are an independent scientific publisher (thewinnower.com) and we want to ensure our users that we will not give over control to giants like Elsevier or Sage, should we ever get to that point. Kind of like Mendeley and Elsevier(http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/04/elsev...)
