Dear Mr. Ewen,

Thank you for your email message.

Just to clarify -- our citation information is located at http://www.rcsb.org/robohelp_f/#site_navigation/citing_the_pdb.htm

In particular:
You *may not* collect PDB images and data and just sell the images and data commercially
You *may *download the images and put them in a book (including a reference to us) and sell that commercially
You *may *download the data, and do something with it, and sell that it commercially

Please let us know if we can be of additional assistance.

Sincerely,
Rachel Green
