Primary Text
When the depositary has permission to use
the thing deposited, the contract loses the concept of a
deposit and becomes a loan or commodatum, except
where safekeeping is still the principal purpose of the
contract.
The permission shall not be presumed, and its existence
must be proved. (1768a)
