RE: Multi-Site licensing language

I've always thought it more useful to think in terms of licensing a network,
rather than a physical place.  Indeed, this wording was used in the first
industry 'model licence' I worked on.

Georgie,

This definition seems to be up to each individual
publisher/licensor. We try to get away from defining "site" at
all, and try to stick with "authorized users" instead. We'll say
something like, "we want to license this for all of our faculty,
staff, students, researchers, walk-ins and alumni no matter where
they are" and go from there.

Many publishers still think of a site as any place that would
have had a separate print subscription.
