university of chicago new license scheme

[Matt Person <mperson@mbl.edu>]

I have just received notice from the University of Chicago Press 
that they no longer require a formal signed license from an 
institution, replaced by "Terms and Conditions of Use of 
Electronic Journals." I find this a very interesting development. 
Is this a new trend (or one solution) to licensing challenges? (I 
am new to handling licenses at my institution).
