American National Corpus: Adjustment to Licensing Fee

The Linguistic Data Consortium is pleased to announce an adjustment to
the
licensing fee for the American National Corpus. The original fee was
intended
to recover part of the funds the LDC and the ANC Consortium invested
and will
invest in corpus creation, CD mastering and replication, the creation
and
administration of the ANC agreements and the documentation and
maintenance of
the corpus. Given the enormous interest we have seen in the ANC in the
first
few days since its announcement, it seems clear that we can distribute
many
more copies at a much lower cost than originally predicted. Thus the
licensing
fee for the American National Corpus will be $75. Please also note that
ANC
data may be shared within the licensing organization, for example across
departments within the same University. This adjustment is effective
from
October 21, the date "ANC First Release" was announced.
