Revision to NLM's License Agreement to Lease NLM Databases in Machine-Readable Form

The National Library of Medicine's License Agreement to Lease NLM Databases in Machine-Readable Form has been revised. A sentence has been added at the end of section E3. The section now reads:

E. RESTRICTIONS ON USE, DUPLICATION, AND REDISTRIBUTION OF MACHINE-READABLE DATA
3. The Licensee shall inform its users that the duplication, resale, or redistribution of data obtained under this Agreement must conform to fair use guidelines and U.S. and international copyright law. Any duplication, resale, or redistribution by the Licensee or its users who provide information services or products from NLM databases obtained directly or indirectly from the Licensee must also conform to NLM's quality assurance requirements listed in Paragraphs D.2.a. through D.2.o., copyright constraints listed in Paragraph F., and usage reports listed in Paragraph J. Written approval from NLM is required before a non-U.S. licensee duplicates, resells, or redistributes NLM data (except cataloging records) to others.

Per Section M of the License, the modification is binding upon publication in the NLM Technical Bulletin.
