Cornell University Library Removes All Restrictions on Use of Public Domain
Reproductions

,----[ Quote ]
| In a dramatic change of practice, Cornell University Library has announced it 
| will no longer require its users to seek permission to publish public domain 
| items duplicated from its collections. Instead, users may now use 
| reproductions of public domain works made for them by the Library or 
| available via Web sites, without seeking any further permission.

| and member states.

| Amsterdam without high license costs or limitations to its reuse.
