[Opengenalliance] Cambridge University library digitisation

[Guy Etchells]

What seems to be missed here is in Europe and the UK we also have a law 
which makes Database Right part of Copyright.
This gives protection for 15 years from the date of the last addition to 
the database.

Database Right acknowledges sweat of the brow and costs.

This allows Cambridge to claim copyright on the database collection of 
digitised images.

Such protection is required if the public wish to enjoy access to such 
collections at a cost far less than travelling to read the paper book.
Cheers
Guy
