Great - thanks Ole!
So - from the point of view of prospective reusers - does this mean that
e-books from DOD can be freely circulated and reused (as per
opendefinition.org)? E.g. will scanned e-books or digital editions be
made available with a legal waiver (Public Domain Mark / CC0) or equivalent
"no rights reserved" legal disclaimers?

yes: There are two projects - e-books on demand (EOD) and digitizing on

spent (iirc), while DOD is Royal Library only, and free. The time frames
are as you mentioned, Jonathan.
Oh, David: please do not move too fast - the people involved in the DOD
project need to catch their collective breaths (I also need some of the to
write Wikipedia articles) :-)

Great news!
While it looks like pre-1600 and 1601-1700 will be only available via
EEBO for people outside DK (which requires a fairly hefty institutional
subscription fee?), the 1701-1900 texts appear to be freely available? Does
anyone know about the legal status / license / terms of use of these texts?

Hi!
The Royal Library in Copenhagen has started making free e-books on
demand from Danish 1701-1900 books in their collections.
By doing this, they get more usage but less wear and tear and more
space in the reading room :-)
