1. Definitions. The "CD-ROM" refers to all the information and software provided on the Mouse Atlas Project CD-ROM disks. This is comprised of:
• "html pages"
• "2D images"(.jpg) and "movie sequences" (.mpg)
• "3D reconstructions" (.wlz) which include the grey-level voxel models of the histology and the delineated anatomical components.
• "software" (all binaries and Java code)
• "anatomical nomenclature" as a directory hierarchy
Each licensee is addressed as "you" or "Licensee". A "work using the CD-ROM" means any work within the Licensee's organization and a "publication using the CD-ROM" means any published material either in print (e.g. scientific journals, books, educational material, newspapers) or electronically (e.g. as html pages published from a WWW server). "Full and proper reference" means that if any material from the CD-ROM is used within a publication the reader can see on the same page that the material has been copied from the CD-ROM and that a text caption or footnote provides the acknowledgement.
2. Copyright holders. The Medical Research Council, UK and the University of Edinburgh, UK, are copyright holders of the html pages, 2D images, movie sequences, 3D reconstructions, and anatomical nomenclature. The Medical Research Council, UK  is the copyright holder of the software. The copyright holders reserve all rights except those expressly granted to the Licensee.
3. Use of the CD-ROM. The Licensee shall use the CD-ROM solely for non-profit academic research purposes within the Licensee's organization.

If the CD-ROM is sold the new owner is subject to the same terms and conditions and must notify the MRC of the purchase.
4. Use of the software.  The software is provided to allow you to view the 2D and 3D images. This software can be copied and reused for viewing other 2D and 3D images within Licensee's organization.
5. Work using the CD-ROM. The use of the CD-ROM for work within the Licensee's academic organisation for non-profit research, for example the analysis of experimental data, is encouraged.
6. Publication using the CD-ROM. The html, 2D images, movie sequences and anatomical nomenclature can be used within publications of the Licensee's organisation provided full and proper reference to the material is made, and that there is no-profit from such publication. For example images may be used and the text quoted in both paper and electronic publications.
7. Acknowledgement of use. Licensee agrees to acknowledge the use of the CD-ROM in any document which has input from work using the CD-ROM, including but not limited to published research. The licensee agrees to notify the Medical Research Council and University of Edinburgh  via one or more of the contacts above and to supply a copy of the publication, with appropriate modification made for protection of confidential or proprietary information.
