I have now ordered "Glossarium norvagicum, eller, Forsøg paa en Samling af saadanne rare norske Ord som gemeenlig ikke forstaaes af danske Folk, tilligemed en Fortegnelse paa norske Mænds og Qvinders Navne, Det fælles Sprog til Oplysning og Forbedring" from 1749 to find out :-)
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?J.On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 2:42 PM, Ole Palnatoke Andersen <ole@palnatoke.org> wrote:
The library assumes that everything pre-1900 is out of copyright, and yes: There are two projects - e-books on demand (EOD) and digitizing on demand (DOD). EOD is an Europeana project where the user pays for time 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) :-)

Does anyone know about the legal status / license / terms of use of these texts?J.On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 9:35 AM, Ole Palnatoke Andersen <ole@palnatoke.org> wrote:
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 :-)
