Hi Zuha, I'm not the person who can give permission. I think the license allows you to use the software in the way that you are describing. I'm cc'ing Heonick Ha, one of the MGH licensing lawyers, who should be able to tell you definitively. best doug

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Zuha Junaidi, writing to you on behalf of the legal team atBrainSightAI, https://secure-web.cisco.com/1fenN2fK-sZMU_yj5Vozshm1nAWqMTjXfYE64fp8_qeSeG3oR3LM1ScwU-LFPLQxiQ6DrCyMz-OKk5J11YsRnTK4OD3_KP-MICaQeak8U2FLTAt2LSldOKrxsDAsPtoceT_Aa7Yxd0HcTamggmlrWZLwL845ykj6RRhQQw0p5-HuYw7YjobL83a980xT7p7wSsxjM-GpnqwDPJ0JBu48hIyyOQ7R6Uirj4G1P0NJRXON2LCAwoalqEWJr3EYFsj0mnLt1saqSR8lZerxhNrgB8M9wxiBSngTfGkVZHyjSl85gBySdjwiIW4qfaXJSzRgO/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brainsightai.com%2Fto request your consent to use the Freesurfer license for commercial use. At BrainSightAI, a connectome-based analysis startup based out of India, we enable personalized brain mapping which has implications across neurosurgery, neurology, and psychiatry.
Our product involves robust pre-processing of structural MRI modalities, and we have found that Freesurfer's mri_convert and mri_normalize functions give us the best results. We would like to incorporate intensity normalisation functionality as part of our pre-processing pipeline.
As we are conducting clinical studies to validate our product and obtain FDA approval prior to commercialization, we need your permission to use Freesurfer's license to access and utilize its mri_convert and mri_normalize functions in our analysis pipeline.
We want to clarify that we would only be using the mri_convert and mri_normalize functions from Freesurfer's software package, and we will comply with all the license terms and conditions while using it. Whenever applicable, we will give proper attribution to the authors and developers of the software in any publications or presentations resulting from our work.
We will strictly adhere to all the terms and conditions set forth in the Software License. Our use of the Software will be limited to the specific functions of mri_convert and mri_normalize. We will preserve and maintain all applicable attributions, copyright notices and licenses included in or applicable to the Software. Any modified versions of the Software will be clearly identified and marked as such, and we will not misrepresent them as being the original Software.
We believe that incorporating Freesurfer's functions in our processing pipeline will enhance the accuracy and efficiency of our analysis, and we hope that you will grant us permission to use them.
Please let us know the process to receive permission.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Zuha Junaidi
