ICDD is rumored not to be amused by the contribution of the HighScore-based search functionality, and rumored to be claiming breach of intellectual property. I have not seen either any ICDD patents nor the HighScore implementation, but clearly there is a conflict of interest.

BTW, Panton Principle endorsers may be interesting in signing the petition for Open Data in crystallograph too.
