== Overview ==

Uniprot (which stands for Universal Protein Resource), the world’s most comprehensive catalog of information on proteins, is available for reuse under [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/ CC Attribution-NoDerivs]. 

== License Usage ==
Uniprot is available for reuse under [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/ CC Attribution-NoDerivs]. The license is viable for all [http://www.uniprot.org/help/license copyrightable parts] of Uniprot's database.

== Motivations ==

Eric Jain from Uniprot [http://eric.jain.name/2006/02/07/uniprot-creative-commons/ writes],

:"Even though it was clear from the outset that our data is “open access”, some people felt that having a custom license would be more “safe” and give us more control. On the other hand people shouldn’t have to run up large legal bills just to figure out how they can use our data, and the Creative Commons licenses are both well known and clear and simple."
