TODO - The development of Digital libraries and repositories, a worldwide
vision with enormous political and ideological importance for humanity,
in an effort to approach cultures and preserve plurality and diversity,
is directly affected by the provisions of Intellectual Property Law and
is subject to the consideration of innovation through legislation. Legal
issues such as these related to software use, database protection, the
collection, digitization, archiving, and distribution of protected works
are of outmost importance for the operation and viability of Digital
libraries and repositories. In this chapter, the authors focus upon some
of these legal issues and consider an alternative proposal in respect of
Intellectual Property law for open access to creative works furnished to
the public through Digital libraries and repositories. The alternative
proposal pertains to the use of the Creative Commons licenses as a legal
means to enhance Openness for Digital libraries.
