I think 2.2 (i) is particularly relevant: "download or print, or attempt to download or print, an entire issue or issues of journals or substantial portions of the entire run of a journal" - whether that refers to the images or the contents seems moot really. I would like to point out here that there are other databases that are generally free to use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrophysics_Data_System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PubMed_Central Are the two I most often use. Though others, like the Nature archives, are still difficult to access: http://www.nature.com/nature/archive/index.html Nicely laid out, but once you get to the issue you want, you still invariably hit a paywall. > ps: your civility levels in these two messages are somewhat below > suitable levels for the list, and I wouldn't mention it except I've > already had complaints this quicly. It's Christmas. Don't do anything based on what was said to me. :-) Carcharoth _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
