It is requested that CSD, ICSD, CRYSTMET and ICDD provide a light version of their content (crystal data or powder patterns) at no cost on the Web. A light version consists of the complete database that is fully searchable on the Web by crystal parameters and references and returns the CIFs. It would not consist of the other value-added possibilities produced by these companies, which would stay inside of the toll versions - unless, of course, they want to give more... The principle defended here is that the atomic positions in natural or synthetic crystal samples of our Universe are not copyrightable.
