[Web4lib] Re: Google Books Settlement Reached

[Campbell, James (jmc)]

If your German is up to it, see

The focus is really on including other publishers in the US version of GBS rather than on extending the new GBS to other countries. The latter would of course be much more complicated because of the national differences in the concept of copyright.  Still, it's a potential opening.
