[Dspace-general] co-author's permission

[MacKenzie Smith]

Hi Rea,

I know you're hoping for comments from institutions besides MIT, but I feel 
compelled to answer anyway :-)
The submission license we use (which is the DSpace default) states that the 
submitter/author has received permission from co-authors as necessary, or 
the actual copyright holder if the author has given it away to a publisher. 
I think letting disciplines follow their local practices makes perfect 
sense, unless you're getting challenged by a co-author? It sounds pretty 
unlikely that anyone would object to this practice...
