2026-11-14Listed on 2026-11-14. Judged by public rules and checked a second time before listing. The two passes disagreed; the stricter reading is carried: Second pass: redistribution: [甲类] 原文规定以网页应用、浏览器等其他方式部署（向他人提供内容）须特别许可并收费；再分发/对外提供被涉及且附许可与费用条件，应为 conditional。 This page could not be retrieved: the text of the SNOMED International Affiliate License Agreement (the address returns a PDF file download, not a page). The conclusion rests on the pages that were retrieved.
