The NCBI Software Development Toolkit was developed for the production
and distribution of GenBank, Entrez, BLAST, and related services by
NCBI. We make it freely available to the public without restriction to
facilitate the use of NCBI by the scientific community. However, please
understand that while we feel we have done a high quality job, this is
not commercial software. The documentation lags considerably behind the
software and we must make any changes required by our data production
needs. Nontheless, many people have found it a useful and stable basis
for a number of tools and applications.
