Well, for all the time I've been asking myself that "where is the detail where the devil is hiding". It might be the licencing topic in general. There was pretty little about this said.

Yes, many of the people from various organizations were interested in an idea for a legal reform related to the text and data mining. But pretty much no proposal was shown at the table. Some of the people (ie. Koperdag) agreed that the current state when "right to read is right to mine" is ok and according to current legal point of view is datamining possible without any limitations. 

From what I can say the meeting was not dominated by publishers. More or less it seemed to be as a very peaceful exchange of very similar views of the commission as well as of the publishers. It seemed to me that something or someone did change the publishers' point of view and they are now very close to the commission's point of view.

It was definitely not the commission who spoke about some licensing proposal, but they pointed out that a legislative backbone must be made. Then the discussion turned into a debate what is and what is not commercial and non-commerical datamining (which from my own experience can be a little tricky to define).Â
