On 14 Jul 1992, Theodore Brunner, Director of Thesaurus Linguae
Graecae, proposed to "reiterate here some of the TLGs policies
(subscribed to by all CD ROM licensees)", but he did not actually
reiterate them, but instead only quoted Section III C of the TLG
license agreement which describes the unspecified provisions as
"designed to assure that the field can continue to benefit from the
TLGs materials and resources. Uncontrolled use of TLG texts by the
field would quickly lead to a host of legal and proprietary problems
vis-a-vis the copyright holders of TLG source texts; these problems, in
turn, could easily jeopardize future TLG text dissemination activities."

Could this be explained more fully? What kinds of legal contracts
did TLG enter with copyright holders, how many copyright holders are
involved, what percentage of texts are under contract, what is the
duration of the contracts, and how do they terminate? Will the texts
ever pass into the public domain, where everyone can use and improve
them, or will some new contract have to be negotiated, so that TLG
will remain under a restrictive license perpetually?

These stipulations do not prohibit one from using the TLG without the benefit
of downloading, does it? In other words, I can conduct a word search with it,
I suppose. . .
