Model licence for electronic products

["ALPSP" <alpsp@morris-assocs.demon.co.uk>]

In the UK, the Publishers Association and the universities' Joint
Information Systems Committee set up a number of working parties to look
at particularly difficult aspects of electronic publishing.  One of these
groups has just finalised a model licence, which they hope that publishers
and libraries will use at least as a framework, source of wording and
source of definitions for their own licences.  It will be used as the
basis for the National Electronic Site Licence next year.

A copy of the final version is now available on the LIBLICENSE website:

and the working group would be very interested in comments or questions
about it.
