The research involves **copying** the material (often > 100,000 separate
items) to several sites including public repositories and Wikimedia
computers. This is only possible in practice with an explicit permissive
licence such as CC BY. It would be a potential breach of copyright to use
material where explicit permission was not given on the document or
metadata intimately semantically associated with it.
