This sounds like a good policy to promote Open science :)

Deposition to the COD does not exclude deposition to other databases; in 
fact we could even forward the data to your University on your behalf if 
the University would so desire.

But of course COD is a central, long lasting resource (20+ years :) 
where structures will for sure be found now and in the future :)

Sincerely yours,
