Those who access liblicense outside the UK may like to know that the form
of this license now available involves some significant redrafting which
brings some key clauses into line with the portmanteau "model licence"
sanctioned by the task-oriented group assembled for the purpose of finding
joint solutions to key questions in the electronic arena by the (UK)
Publishers Association and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC)
of the Higher Education Funding Council of England and Wales (HEFCE) i.e.
publishers, librarians and government funding. The changes (suggested
essentially by Sally Morris) were accepted easily. The whole process shows
what can be achieved given goodwill, a spirit of compromise and a
recognition that all parts of the information chain have their place if
content creators are to communicate optimally with content users. Or so I
think...
