if now Google (Scholar) set out to go beyond indexing and offered
(free) access to text mining of the documents they crawled, this
would most certainly be a commercial activity. <br>
<br>
Wouldn't you think that an explicit endorsement of publishers
claiming a limitation of commercial use from authors is unwise? How
can repositories make sure that "nobody" is making commercial use of
the manuscripts they hold? Do they need to exclude Google (Scholar)
from indexing, just in case? <br>
<br>
(@PMR: Contrary to what you believe, I would operate and formulate
policy from the assumption that sooner or later documents from
almost <b>all</b> disciplines may be mined profitably)<br>
<br>
Just to mention another commercial use: ResearchGate (allegedly a
social network for researchers) and similars are certainly for
profit (even if one cannot see how they could make a profit). Is a
researcher allowed to upload their manuscript there?<br>
