I have no problem with Kevin deciding alone what to do with his copy of the
scans. However, trying to exclude people who contributed the scans, which is
what I understand from the sentence:
is not something I will accept for the scans I submit.

Funding the library is not profit. Profit Kevin gets for his work is not
profit from the work of others. So, I think I can agree to what you say.

Agree 100%.

I am well aware of that fact.

Right. But if someone get scans from Kevin's archive, Kevin probably HAS
standing to pursue that matter. Of course, he can still decide not to do so.
