NLG supports a policy of Openness whenever this policy is doable. In the framework of Openness the meta-data of NLG’s Digital Collections Platform are available for use under the CC0 Universal Public Domain Dedication 1.0. Additionally, digitized copies of works which are under Copyright Law protection may become available for use under an open access license or other license which is properly reported in the registration of said work with the NLG’s Digital Collections Platform. Wherever there is open licensing of work there is specific note regarding it through an open access license or other license or the default license which is the NLG License which allows the reproduction of the licensed work under conditions of:

1) Attribution to the licensor,

2) Non-Commercial Use of the work,

3) No-Derivative work from the licensed work, and

4) No-Distribution by the licensee of the licensed work. 

NLG is the Copyright holder for its Digital Collections Platform (digitalcollections.nlg.gr) which includes data bases, works of art, descriptions etc. Any reproduction of work which is included in the NLG’s Digital Collections Platform and/ or of the Digital Collections Platform per se is set under the licensed terms and clauses per specific work provided that said work is set under an open access license or any other license. Beyond that license framework, it is not allowed any partial or in whole reproduction of work which is included in NLG’s Digital Collections Platform and/or of NLG’s Digital Collections Platform without any prior written permission of the Copyright holder or the National Library of Greece being the Copyright holder for its Digital Collections Platform. 

Preamble

The Open Database License of the National Library of Greece (ODbL-NLG) is an open content license agreement specially designed for the NLG, intended to allow users to freely use, share, modify this Database for any non-commercial use, while maintaining this same freedom for others (Non-Commercial use). For public use of the databases or for works produced from the databases, or if Derivative Databases are created, attribution must be provided for every/any public use of the NLG databases in the manner specified in the ODbL-NLG. For any use or redistribution of the databases, or works produced from them, the license of the databases must be made clear to others, and any notices on the original NLG databases must be kept intact. Additionally, if Derivative databases are created from the NLG databases the Derivative databases or works produced from an adapted database must be distributed with an open content license that contains the same or compatible terms as the ODbL-NLG (Share-Alike). The ODbL-NLG does not allow for any commercial use of the licensed databases.

The NLG databases are subject to copyright protection, and therefore this document licenses these rights. Some jurisdictions, mainly in the European Union, have specific rights that cover databases (Sui Generis Rights), and so the ODbL-NLG addresses these rights that also apply to Greek copyright legislation. Also, the ODbL-NLG constitutes a binding agreement in contract for users of this NLG Database, which dictates that NLG Database users must comply with the conditions of this agreement in return for accessing the data and information in this NLG Database.

NLG Databases may contain a wide variety of types of content (images, audiovisual material, and sounds all in the same database), and so the ODbL-NLG only governs the rights over the Database, and not the contents of the Database individually. The NLG may use the ODbL-NLG together with another license for the contents, if the contents have a single set of rights that uniformly covers all of the contents. If the contents have multiple sets of different rights, the NLG will describe what rights govern what contents together in the individual record or in some other way that clarifies what rights apply.

Sometimes the contents of a database, or the NLG database itself, may be covered by other rights not addressed here in the ODbL-NLG (such as private contracts, trademark over the name, or privacy rights/data protection rights over information in the contents), and so the consultation of other documents or clearance of other rights before doing activities not covered by this ODbL-NLG is advised.

The NLG as Licensor and You as Licensee (as defined below) agree as follows:

1.0 Definitions
