This legend should be displayed on every copy of the MST, on all manuals and other materials used in connection with the MST, including electronic media (disks, CD ROMs, etc.) and should be apparent in text files loaded on these disks or onto the Internet. Permission is hereby granted, without written agreement and without license or royalty fees, to use, copy, or distribute the Minimal Standard Terminology (MST) for any purpose, so long as this copyright notice appears on any copies of the MST and that the following conditions are met.
The purpose of the MST is not to define database implementation but to provide a terminology standard for use by the endoscopic community in creating endoscopic reports.
Users of the MST agree to the following conditions:
- They will include notice of copyright and terms of use in any copies of the MST database that they distribute.
- They will not change any contents in the defined MST Fields. Users may add their own new fields to the database if they want to attach additional information to the existing MST. If new records are added to the MST to deal with local requirements, these records must be identified as being separate from the MST. This identification mechanism facilitates the exchange of information without the creation of redundant terms.
ESGE and the members of the ESGE Committee on Minimal Standards do not accept liability for any omissions or errors in the MST and all EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE RELATING TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE DISCLAIMED.
