This information is very helpful. I work with Wiley Science Solutions; We publish KnowItAll and associated spectral libraries. I am always looking for new sources of data to add to our libraries. For libraries that don?t have clear licensing displayed, I have to inquire about use and rights. For libraries that have CC0 licensing rights, we add the data to our libraries and provide proper citation of the source. Best, Natalie Clines, MSc Acquisitions Editor ?
