Eliminate the threat of future data-access fees

Why Is This Idea Important?: Problem: Some government databases warn that they may charge access fees in the future. This means that no free-access data service can be built on top of one of these databases without the risk of an essential part being taken away in the future. This discourages use and decreases the value of the data to the public. An example: "NIST reserves the right to charge for access to this database in the future." ( http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/ )

Recommendation: Free-access databases should stay free, and and system developers should be able to rely on this.
