Licence and what it means for your video

Rights statements are set per item by the contributing institution, from public domain and CC0 to in-copyright.

How Video Assets Server searches it

Link only for now: its search API needs a key, and many items point at a provider's page or a hosted player rather than a file. Every search links to the same query on Europeana.
