again, muddled representation: I asked whether, legally, a NC-license 
*when present* would not impede a search engine (strictly seen).
And please, let us ask a (team of) lawyer(s)!

Indeed, Google has been accused by many parties not to respect 
copyright (think Google Books and, again, the German newspapers).
It is not alone in this as Peter Murry Rust pointed out recently about 
the big science publishers (Springer in his case?) putting their 
copyright notice on his OA material.

Google, Elsevier etc. can afford to risk the occasional appearance in 
court -  while most of us, our institutions and small companies cannot.
