Thanks @r2sunita! Very small comment, otherwise good to merge once this small addition is made.

Yes. I have contacted Phytozome group to get the specific details on license. I will provide the details as soon as I get this information. Thanks. Sunita

Hi Fernando,

I contacted Phytozome lead Dr. David Goodstein to get the specific details on license. Here is his reply.

  1. We don’t license or distribute any code associated with Phytozome
  2. Phytozome is ©2006-2015 University of California Regents. All rights reserved.
  3. go to http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/pages/dynamicOrganismDownload.jsf?organism=PhytozomeV10 (the data download Portal for Phytozome) and view the header paragraph:

Some of the data available on this portal are pre-publication data and may contain errors. The goal of our policy is that early release should enable the progress of science. By accessing these data, you agree not to publish any articles containing analyses of genes or genomic data on a whole genome or chromosome scale prior to publication by JGI and its collaborators of its comprehensive genome analysis. These restrictions will be lifted on the publication of the whole genome description or as specified on the information for each organism. During this waiting period, the data will be available for any kind of publication that does not compete directly with planned publications (e.g. reserved analyses) of the JGI and collaborators. A principal collaborator or "champion," listed in the organsim's Info page and is the point of contact and arbiter regarding publication plans. Scientists are strongly encouraged to contact the principal collaborator and JGI about their intentions and any potential collaboration.

Each directory within this portal has a file describing the release policy of that data. People who access data are expected to adhere to those policies.
