• The Research Catalogue Terms of Use are more restrictive than Creative Commons licenses insofar as use and distribution of any material uploaded to the Research Catalogue is allowed only within SAR web domains (such as the Research Catalogue itself) and not beyond this.
• This decision is based on the fact that artists find it difficult to be given permission to use others’ work in the context of their research on the Internet. More restrictive terms may help to convince copyright holders to grant permission to use a particular piece of art that the right holder may legally not want to see circulating on the Internet.
• This point relates also to the question regarding Open Access.
