The absence of a copyright notice is # not sufficient; however, a blanket permission for non-commercial use # is sufficient. # # For more technical reasons, I am not prepared to accept data under # conditions that require me to track uses of the data, to limit the # uses of the data to a particular time period, or to verify that # every user has read the legalese. XTide has many different # interfaces by which users can obtain results, and such requirements # are impossible to implement in a reasonable and consistent fashion # across all interfaces. For a reasonable compromise, see what was # done for the POL data: a reference to legalese is included in the # location name field. # # # --- Copyright statements --- # # United States: Data published by the U.S. government is by law # non-proprietary.
