Dear Erik, in August we had a short discussion about the copyright of the Tycho-2 catalogue, but didn't come to an conclusion. A good example for the copyright clause here would be the one that is used in the Berkeley Software Distribution: . -----------------------------8<---------------------------------------- [See above -- olebole] -----------------------------8<---------------------------------------- . The modification is important, since it includes f.e. conversion to other formats, combination with other catalogues, corrections and so on. Or should I discuss this with someone else? Whom would you recommend? . Best regards Ole Streicher Copmment: The astrometry.net package is used to create the binaries. However, the license of the binaries is the same as for the source (according to Dustin Lang, author of astrometry.net).
