Things are different for a derivative work, which may offer enough added value to justify a fee. And such a work is not bound by the Work’s license conditions (unless SA is added). It's here that the NC option plays its intended role: an author decides if others can make money (by adding a paywall, say) or not from derivative works based upon his or her work.</p>

<br>this has screenshots of the BL charges. I entered into considerable correspondence and I think the conclusions was that it was too much trouble to work out what articles were open access so it was easier t charge for all of them. I have no idea where the money ended up. <br>
<br>The BL did say that if you came to the actual reading room at St Pancras it was free (but you have to pay the train fare).<br> <br>But maybe it's changed after 5 years and maybe it hasn't. I don't have time to check.<br>
