Of course, none of this will matter to any institution that signs the  
Access Copyright model licence because section 4. (c) states that  
"copies of Repertoire Works shall not be stored or indexed with the  
intention of creating a library of Published Works"! And since Access  
Copyright seems happy to claim that *everything*, even public domain  
works and works on the Exclusions List, is part of its repertoire,  
this licence would severely restrict a licensee's ability to use any  
of these tools.
