| 2026-11-13 | Listed on 2026-11-13. Judged by public rules and checked a second time before listing. The two passes disagreed; the stricter reading is carried: Second pass: commercial_use: 原文明确设有面向商业组织（制药公司、CRO）的商业订阅，费率按营收定；商业使用并未被禁止，而是付费订阅。第5、8、13条对此情形规定 commercial_use 记 conditional（取决于成员资格/费用）。按原文应为 conditional；状态仍为 restricted。（按原文应取：conditional；比拟定更宽，按规则不自动放宽） |
