No, OCLC's guidelines for transfer (http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/records/guidelines/default.htm) specifically give unrestricted transfer rights to libraries and non-commercial entities. The Open Library is both. It's a registered library in California and a non-profit. So in either situtation, it's not a problem.

How would that work? Most of the records in OhioLINK are probably
derived from OCLC Worldcat. Isn't sharing such records a no-no?
