NEL aside, for CDL I'm curious what the bar is for possession. Could we have a community distributed library where people with purchased books can "give" their books sitting on their bookshelves to a CDL program but not have to physically ship anything? The donor then promises to check if their book is in use before cracking it open. Most of the time my books aren't being read anyway...
