An answer from a bit of a novice!
My suspicion is that your "once only" approach might open a slightly
malodorous can of worms in the case of materials with several authors,
especially where they are from different institutions.
Any better informed answwers!?

Subject: Licences - once only or every time?
Dear All,
A question from a bit of a novice! We are at the early stage of
developing our research repository and have not actually loaded any real
material yet. The Library will be uploading material on behalf of our
researchers and academics, although in the future we may have academics
and researchers who will be happy to self-archive.
My question is:
Can we ask a depositor to sign a licence just on the first occasion that
they send us material? That licence would then apply to everything
else that they send us in the future. Does anyone currently do this
with their own repository?
Or will we need to get a licence for each individual item?
I would be very interested to know what you are all doing and in your
advice.
Many thanks for your help,
Best wishes,
Keith Nockels
