"If this is product/system that is free to use I would have no problem in
DEMQOL and DEMQOL-Proxy being included.
1. There is no licence needed or need to register its use. It is a free to
use system but we assert copyright so no-one else does.
2. There are no costs due for its use.
3. There is a manual which is available on our website
http://www.bsms.ac.uk/research/our-researchers/sube-banerjee/demqol/
which also includes the instruments.
4. The information on scoring is contained in the DEMQOL manual and
monograph which are available freely on our website.
5. You can generate your own electronic format but we would not cede
copyright on the instrument."
