Yes, Abel and Antonia. A good list, but remember anybody can distribute OER and the quality is not always as stringently assured as it has been for  the TESSA OERs. So you need to be critical and make judgements for yourself.

Anthonia, there are sometimes some conditions to what you describe, so it is worth checking the licence under which they are published.
