P-E, Thank you for sharing this legal information. I have a bunch of questions and would appreciate help in understanding this further.
Is section 15 part of the actual directive, or is it simply part of the rationale that helps explain the intent behind the 12 articles that follow? If the articles are the actual directive, might those be more narrowly interpreted and more narrowly applicable than the general rationale cited? And also, its hard for me to see which articles relate to section 15 as it would apply to linking to a library. If I understand this correctly, an EU directive was an agreement amongst member states to uphold or create local laws. Do all EU member states have laws for this particular directive, and if so, does the same rationale described in paragraph 15 apply to all of those laws in each of the respective member states? Sorry I know that is a lot of questions, but, I am genuinely trying to make sense of how this EU directive works and how it applies to the licenses my org publishes and provides educational materials on. Any and all help is appreciate.
