Interlibrary loan restrictions in license agreements



Commonly now licenses seem to require that interlibrary lending 
be handled by first printing and then delivering an article by 
fax, Ariel, snail mail, etc.

I'm looking at a license agreement which enables lending in this 
way but limits lending to:

             Non-commercial libraries

             Located in the U.S.

Would you agree that this is unduly restrictive?  Have you also 
encountered such limits on the borrowing institutions?
