[open-bibliography] Openbiblio workshop at OKCon

[Karen Coyle]

Thanks, Adrian. I note that their wording is "no legal objections to  
indexing..." I'm not sure that translates to "not covered by  
copyright." I am especially unsure what they mean by "indexing for  
catalogue enrichment purposes." it may be clearer in the German  
original, but "indexing" isn't the same as "copying" and I think the  
issue at hand is whether one can freely make copies of this data.

Does anyone else have a different interpretation?
