Hi Johan,

Email me at work, [log in to unmask], and I will send you the 
current "PubSpectra care package" by UM's file management system 
(FMS, an email with a download link).

Facts are not subject to copyright (at least in the United States), 
data are facts. See Carl Boswell and my 2006 Cytometry paper for reference.

George
