In other words, you lose all control over
the images. I especially dislike the “authorize others to do so.”
And there’s no apparent time limit. I wouldn’t do it.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] New Media
request
Hello,
I
am working with a production company that used images from our Photograph
Collection in a documentary. They are asking for an amendment to the
Licensing Agreement they signed more than a year ago to include:
“Non-theatrical, Internet, New Media, and In-Context Promotion.”
While I believe the original agreement covers non-theatrical, internet, and
in-contextual promotion (although in our language and not their legal
department’s), the term “new media” is causing us a bit of
concern.
They
are defining New Media Rights as: “the unlimited rights to duplicate, display,
stream, download, and otherwise distribute the Program and portions thereof,
and to authorize others to do so, by all media on all wireless devices now
known or hereafter developed, including cell phones.”
My
question is, how are others handling such requests? And, are others giving this
blanket permission for unknown, undeveloped technology?
