Question to Nature: If it does include "an institution-based e-print server
at [one's] university", why not say it like that in the licence and the
FAQs?

> Dear Sir / Madam,
>
> I just wanted to clarify one point made on your Author
> Licence FAQ web page.
>
> Point 1 states:
> 'The licence says I may post the PDF on my "own" web
> site. What does "own" mean?
> It means a personal site, or portion of a site, either
> owned by you or at your institution (provided this
> institution is not for profit).....'
>
> Does this include an Institution-based e-print server at a
> University (a not-for-profit service)?
>
> If it does not then does the licence allow a
> pre-publication version of the work (eg. The same content
> but in the Author's original format, not the published PDF)
> to be included on an Institution-based e-print server at a
> University?
>
> As Point 2 states:
> '...The content of the article is your copyright, its
> presentation...remains our copyright'
>
> Many Thanks,
