> On the "What's new" page of the COD you report the release of a COD-derived search-match database by Panalytical in March 2021. I am interested in accessing this database from a different software, but I am unsure about the copyright situation. Would it be legal to officially recommend downloading this database for use with a software that is not related to Panalytical?

The COD data is FAIR and Open Access, so as far as the data goes you are
perfectly fine to fetch COD files and yours them with any software you
may wish.

As far as PANalytical <https://www.malvernpanalytical.com> software and
databases concern, I can not answer definitely since this is their (c)
software. I have forwarded your request to people in PANalytical
<https://www.malvernpanalytical.com> and hopefully they will get back to
you.

Sincerely yours,
Saulius
