    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.
