I object to the terms of licensing (and their being called "intellectual property policy"). The fact that CC or GPL licensing is submitted to the prior written approval of the DPLA Steering Committee, is clearly unacceptable. Philippe By providing your Submission to the DPLA Beta Sprint, you are granting the Berkman Center, the DPLA Steering Committee, and the DPLA Secretariat a non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and worldwide license to use your Submission for the purposes of carrying out the DPLA’s work and mission, including, without limitation, the license rights to sublicense, store, copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, encode, edit, translate, reformat, and prepare derivative works of your Submission or of any derivative work in any format or medium, and/or to incorporate it into a collective work. Participants may, with the prior written approval of the DPLA Steering Committee, effectuate the license granted upon making a Submission pursuant to this IP Policy through the use of an appropriate “open” license such as a Creative Commons license or the GPL that provides to the Berkman Center, the DPLA Steering Committee, and the DPLA Secretariat all the rights set forth above.

*Call for DPLA Beta Sprint Submissions*
*Press release:* http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/newsroom/Digital_Public_Library_America_Beta_Sp...
The Digital Public Library of America <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/dpla> (DPLA) Steering Committee seeks innovations from individuals, libraries, organizations, and others that could play a part in the building of a digital public library. Steering Committee Chair John Palfrey presents the DPLA Beta Sprint in the following short video:

The Beta Sprint seeks, ideas, models, prototypes, technical tools, user interfaces, etc.—put forth as a written statement, a visual display, code, or a combination of forms—that demonstrate how the DPLA might index and provide access to a wide range of broadly distributed content. The Beta Sprint also encourages development of betas that suggest alternative designs or that focus on particular parts of the system, rather than on the DPLA as a whole.
While submissions should be consonant with the description of the DPLA that is set forth in the four-page Concept Note <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/dpla/Concept_Note> posted on the DPLA wiki, the notion is not that we expect anything to be “done,” but rather that submissions be expressive of a direction in which we might take the DPLA.
