Re: renegotiating licenses

["Joseph J. Esposito" <espositoj@gmail.com>]

I would like to see some clarification of the terms of this 
request.

What is an "institutional repository"?  Is it a resource of the 
author's employer?  Is the repository accessible only to people 
who are also employed by the same institution, or is the 
repository accessible to anybody with a Web browser?

What makes a "personal" Web site personal?  Is such a site 
accessible to anyone with a Web browser?  (It's an odd use of 
"personal" when you can personally speak to the globe.)

Does the institution in question subscribe to the journals that 
published the article or articles in question?  If so, what need 
is there for making a deposit into an institutional repository?

For the proposed "renegotiation," how much is the institution 
prepared to pay for the additional rights?  Depending on the 
definition of the terms above, the rights could cost at least as 
much as the aggregate revenue from all customers.
