[tei-council] PR for TEI in Google Books (was Re: some brief reports to save time during our upcoming conf call)

[Gabriel Bodard]

Well, the texts themselves are public domain. Do we know what license 
Google normally attach to otherwise PD texts that they release? (E.g. 
page scans.) I wonder what would be the point of releasing TEI versions 
of texts without licensing them for some kind of re-use...?

Kevin, any insight on this? Any value in pushing in this direction?
