The author then may grant to his contribution further non-exclusive licenses (e.g. publish the contribution in a book or a collection), if he states that first publication was in Journal of Jurisprudence and Legal Practice and provides a link to the source.
The contribution may be deposited in the specialized or institutional repositories in a form of so called "publisher's edition".
