http://www.communia-association.org/2011/11/08/commission-recommendation-on-the-digitisation-and-online-accessibility-of-cultural-material-and-digital-preservation/#more-198

[The European Commission hereby recommends that Member States] improve access to and use of digitised cultural material that is in the public domain by:

a. ensuring that material in the public domain remains in the public domain after digitisation,

b. promoting the widest possible access to digitised public domain material as well as the widest possible re-use of the material for non-commercial and commercial purposes,

c. taking measures to limit the use of intrusive watermarks or other visual protection measures that reduce the usability of the digitised public domain material
