-  TODO: lib/Business/ISBN/RangeMessage.xml was obviously downloaded from
-    http://www.isbn-international.org/agency?rmxml=1; while that website says
-    "© 2011 International ISBN Agency" and offers its data freely, I am unable
-    to find any kind of licensing statement. Are these "telephone directory"
-    kind of works copyrightable? The 'default data' in
-    lib/Business/ISBN/Data.pm is a direct derivative of this.

+ Subject: RE: distributing a copy of RangeMessage.xml
+ .
+ Dear Florian
+ .
+ Thank you for contacting us about this.
+ .
+ The range message is made available publicly, without restriction, on our
+ website since the intention is that it is a resource that can be used to
+ provide a computer system with all the necessary data to correctly split 13
+ digit ISBNs issued by any agency into the ISO defined segments of: [EAN.UCC
+ prefix]-[Group Prefix]-[Registrant]-[book]-[check-digit].
+ .
+ It is also the intention that the file should be accessed each time it is
+ necessary to carry out these tasks, or at least to have access to a file
+ that is quite up to date (i.e. so the file should be downloaded regularly
+ from our site).
+ .
+ We would not recommend that you download a copy and then make that
+ particular instance only available within your package, for the simple
+ reason that it will be quickly out of date. We regularly introduce new
+ ranges or make revisions to existing ranges. None of these changes or
+ adjustments would invalidate any pre-existing ISBN assignments, but they
+ would affect and control future ones.
+ .
+ We would advise that you include a link to our range message
+ (http://www.isbn-international.org/page/ranges) within your package. We
+ would also ask that you include suitable attribution references making clear
+ that the range message is provided by the International ISBN Agency Ltd.
+ .
+ Please let me know if you have further questions.
+ .
+ Kind Regards
+ .
+ Stella
+ .
+ Stella Griffiths
+ Executive Director, International ISBN Agency
