The first version of BDL had an automatic linkage with PubMed, which we do not have at this time. However, all papers published going forward will be deposited in one of two archives: DLIST or E-LIS. We'll also seek to make the journal LOCKSS-complaint. All of these steps should ensure open access to new articles in perpetuity. The articles already published will be available forever in PubMed Central....
PS: For background, see my post from December 14, 2007.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
