<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Hello,<br>
<br>
I do not have an issue/bug, but a question about licensing and outside distribution of the COD database. If this isn’t the best point of contact for this question, could you help by forwarding me to someone else?<br>
<br>
I’m a Scientist at OpenEye Scientific Software. We have a cloud platform called Orion where our customers can run our software or custom software. One of the things we make available on Orion for our customers is public data and molecule sets, for example enamine,
which they can search or analyze with our methods or their own. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I work in our physics group which is largely focused on crystal structure prediction. So the reason I’m writing is that we would like to make the COD (or potentially part of the COD) available on Orion. I
was searching your website today for a license or policy for redistributing the database (including crystal structures) and was having a difficult time finding one. Could you help point me to this information?
