What are the legal implications of putting my contents into LOCKSS?
There is no formal documentation on legal implications but we will investigate this further and work to ensure that where possible and practicable appropriate assurances and written guarantees are given. We envisage this to be a condition of use specified in an archival permission license – similar terms are made clear in licenses for commercial publishing endeavours. This is an area where improvements in the process can be made by the efforts of OpenLOCKSS.
