I see the following points:
- we can only use the data in unmodified form
- we would need to see the data in order to be able to say
whether that has any impact
- since the data comes in ASCII form (of whatever format)
does that mean we cannot put it into a database ?
- we cannot licence the data
- I assume what is meant is re-licence
- I also assume that the purpose of this line is "you may
not make money off the data"
- companies selling services/stuff around GnuNed need to
be careful
- we must not provide the data to other commercial entities
- this is not possible to control
- but MIMS can attach a sticky Restrictions-of-Use notice
that would carry over to any downloaders prohibiting
them to make money off of the data
- Indemnity
- we can "defend" but not indemnify (eg not pay money to
get CMPMedica out of jail)
Those points are just things we need to clarify, not
show-stoppers.
