I spoke to YBP and the agreement has been removed from their site. They are reevaluating the agreement.

Can anyone please tell me what that license agreement is? I didn’t log in during the period that the license agreement was posted, and I’m not a subscriber to the Gobi listserv. I’ve checked the Gobi website and can’t find anything that will tell me what the license agreement actually is.
Thank you!

Hi,
I would like to know what others who use YBP's services think about YBP's new GOBI3 License Agreement requirement. As a longtime and loyal customer, I find the requirement offensive and the Agreement itself severely wanting. UMass would not be able to agree the License terms as written.

Subject: New for GOBI - License Agreement
Dear GOBI Users,
This is just a quick heads up to let you know that in 2013 YBP will introduce a licensing agreement outlining the terms and conditions pertaining to the use of GOBI3 accounts and data. In order to continue using GOBI3, all users will be required to click through the agreement. To view the terms and conditions in advance, please login to GOBI3. We have provided a link to the license agreement on the welcome page.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact your YBP representative or myself, at mplavsa_at_ybp.com<mailto:mplavsa_at_ybp.com>.
Best regards,
Manda Plavsa, MLIS
GOBI Product Manager
