Hello, Tom, you're right - here in the Czech Republic there is not yet specified (by the law), how exactly (or if, even) libraries should release or offer their bibliographic data, as far as I know. The usual way to cooperate among libraries is using the OAI-PMH for sharing data between repositories, without any specific license agreements attached. That is why I've been asking if there is an option for that in the first place (the main advantage I see in this method is that the data aren't uploaded manually in circles, but are automatically updated using time-stamp or other parameters).
The data uploaded in archive.org were meant primarily to find out, if uploading our records in OL could work this way. Now the licence has been changed to CC0 (as you and your collegues recommend here<http://openbiblio.net/principles/> ).
