I have still a lot of difficulties to understand the "non profit" definition of the ICDD organisation, above all if I have a look on the PDF4-Organic 2004.

Data collected and analyzed at taxpayer expense has already been purchased.  It is purchased again at taxpayer expense when journals are bought by universities under grant funding, university overhead levied on grant funding, or though tuition and fees.  Gratis basic search plus CIF output and download is justified to non-abusive users.

It is so absurd that ICDD copies the mostly publicly published crystallographic data and sale them at such higher a price. I was even denied to purchase a data viewer software by ICDD because I refuse to upgrade my year 2000 database.

Because I am only an occasional user of crystallographic databases (for example, during the mineralogy section of my soil chemistry course) I cannot justify paying full price for access to a database. I generally just use crystal structures that are prepackaged with CrystalMaker. Open access would allow my students and I to learn to use the crystallography software for a large variety of soil minerals.

I am a student of crystallography at Cambridge University, and find that much of my research relies on the use of these types of databases.  Clearly, my department would therefore subscribe to them.  However, in order to check my work, reviewers also need a subscription at present - which is not provided (to my knowledge) by the journals that expect them to perform the review.  The petition seems to provide a reasonable solution to this problem.

I support this wholeheartedly. Especially users of the databases in the developing countries often cannot afford them.

As a result of our poor exchange rate, researchers in South Africa have to pay a very high price to obtain these databases. As a young academic and researcher, I could not afford the CSD in the first two years of my career, which made crystallographic research very difficult. Even now, obtaining the CSD is extremely expensive, and a large percentage of my research funds is used for this.

Due to a poor exchange rate and non-competitive research grants, we suffer as a developing country from access to software like the CSD etc.  I scrape together the finances to afford 2 licences to the CSD each year, but this means that most people in our School have no access to the database.  I would like to see open access so that we can use the CSD more in undergraduate teaching and more widely in research, e.g. not just crystallography, but all disciplines.  I like the PDB for this very reason - no charge for PDB files from the database.

Although I personaly and most of my colegues crystallographers in Poland have access to the CSD database, it is completely unavailable for other groups of researchers. To make the data available in even very limited form is very important for all of us.

De facto unavailability of small molecule xray data that has been published is indeed an obstacle for research, education, and is morally wrong. We often end up in absurd situation when coordinates for small molecules have to be taken from the Protein Data Bank entries!  I have had an idea to organise a wiki-style, comunity edited and peer-reviewed database where all wolontiers who have access to printed versions of the crystallographic and other structural papers key in coordinates and share them on the Web under some kind of Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/) license. I am very pleased to see that you are starting virtually tha same ide under http://www.crystallography.net/ :)  I am glad that I am not alone with the opinion that published data should be available to everybody, at no licensing costs or usability restrictions. If CSD and other organisations refuse to open publicly available data, the scientific community will have to put an extra effort and build the databases once more.  Sincerely, Dr. Saulius Grazulis
