The licence concerns the use of Havel's name and his work. Havlová stated that she decided in favor of the Municipal Library because it is able to make Havel's work accessible to the wider public.

The Prague Municipal Library will obtain it free of charge, which will allow further use of Havel's name and work without a licensing fee. Further details of the transfer, as well as the date on which the licence will be formally handed over, have not yet been disclosed. novinky.cz ↗
