Therefore, the Center seeks to have the copyrights transferred to the Henry A. Murray Research Center of Radcliffe College.

A contributor can only transfer copyright to those materials in the data-set (e. g. questionnaire, codebook, scoring manual, the compilation, etc.) which were personally created by the contributor(s), which were created for the contributor(s) as a work for hire, or in which copyright was transferred to the contributor. If some of the material contributed is material in which persons other than the contributor have copyright, the Center must be informed so as not to violate the rights of others.

Under the copyright law which took effect in January, 1978, a written transfer of copyright is needed in addition to the transfer of the physical property. Copyright lasts for an author's life and fifty years.

The contributor makes the following undertakings as to copyright:

(a) Contributor warrants that the materials contributed are his/her own, except for those contributed materials bearing a legible copyright notice in the name of a person other than the contributor, and that they do not infringe upon the rights of others. The only exceptions are those as set forth herein:

(b) Contributor agrees that the materials contributed to the Center shall become the property of Radcliffe College to which all rights, including copyright, of the contributor are hereby assigned, it being understood that each contributor shall have the right to use his/her data in any future research or publication. The only reservation of rights by the contributor are those set forth herein:

9. Each contributor of data to the Center will be guaranteed affiliation with the Center and access to any data-set subject to the restrictions specified by its contributor.

Exhibit B

It is the judgment of the contributor and other principal investigators who have been involved with the subjects of the Multi-form Assessments data that, while it is desirable to make the previously collected data available to the general research community and to make further data collection possible, it is also important to maintain the good will of this valuable subject pool. To this end, a committee has been established to review proposals for research that involve contacting these subjects or their wives or their children using the name and address list on file at the Murray Center. The review committee will be primarily concerned with the timing of follow-ups and the nature of the demand which the proposed research will make on the subjects. At this writing, the committee consists of Drs. Henry Murray, AnnfColby, Charles Ducey, and Ronald Thomas.

Researchers who wish to contact these subjects should submit a statement describing the proposed research to the director of the Murray Center, who will bring it to the attention of the review committee.
