This post is intended to clarify some aspects of licensing for the SRI24 atlas related to the "derived data" concept.

a) Newly created label maps are NOT considered derived data.

If you use the SRI24 atlas to create new label maps, e.g., segmentations of new anatomical structures, then we shall not consider this derived data. You are free to distribute these label maps as you see fit. We would appreciate citations to the SRI24 HBM paper in any publications using such maps. We would also prefer if new label maps were distributed primarily through the NITRC/SRI24 project. However, this is not strictly required.

b) Modified/edited images and/or label maps provided by us ARE considered derived data.

Please do not distribute modified SRI24 images or label maps. You are free to use any derived data locally in your laboratory. If you would like to distribute edited data, please contact Torsten Rohlfing (torsten@synapse.sri.com) to arrange for these data to be incorporated in the official SRI24 distribution. We will be more than happy to accommodate such requests.
