Yes indeed, that it what I use with Elsevier. Â The company does not advertise
the fact, but it has this  licence available to anyone who asks for it.

Elsevier has a Licence To Publish which it will provide if an author
declines to click through its Copyright Transfer Agreement online.
I offered Elsevier the SPARC/Science Commons Author Addendum instead
of signing the CTA and in response was sent the LTP. It allows the
author to keep all the rights needed for personal dissemination,
re-use, etc while obtaining, for Elsevier, sole rights to publish it
in a journal. Since most articles are not ever destined to be
published in more than one journal, this seems a very satisfactory
solution for the majority of cases.
