Thanks!

Quick note: I am against license proliferation, so I try to use the most direct license that I can get past an IRB. We use BDR 1.0+ (1.0 or newer). The original 1.0 license (2005 - below) was much less restrictive than the 2007 one that you cited. We need the do-not-reidentify clause. Your link isn't working for me...does the CC-0 have an identify clause? I am open to whatever works best for the community. Since we haven't performed a data release, changing licenses is easy. Later it will be hard.

We are using svn to post data. If you (meaning anyone on this list) would like to help out / share data / etc., can you please "join" the NITRC project? We are in bug fixing mode now - so the data are not currently useful. Hopefully, we can have a validated version out by mid-summer.

Best,
Bennett
