Hello Isabelle,
161
162
I am a Licensing Officer from the Office of Technology & Industry Alliances=
163
 at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). I'm writing to ask =
164
a question about the VegBank schema that was developed at your institution.
165
166
Researchers at UCSB's National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis=
167
, were given access to a version of the VegBank schema which, apparently, i=
168
s not publicly available. The schema was exported from a live database and =
169
did not have associated licensing information. The researchers would like t=
170
o open source license the software that they have written that incorporates=
171
 the VegBank schema. In connection with this, I'm writing to inquire whethe=
172
r you might provide the terms and conditions under which this non-public ve=
173
rsion of the VegBank schema is made available.
174
175
Thank you very much for your assistance. Please contact me if you have any =
176
questions.
177
178
Best regards,
179
Daniel
