<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">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?

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