Nathan,

The agreement you are referring to below doesn't apply to services that
may emerge from this RFP initiative -- CrossRef hasn't drafted any such
agreement yet, but the intention is in fact to allow display of CrossRef
metadata in the new services. The reason for the change is that
participating publishers can opt out any metadata sharing partnership if
they like, on a case by case basis. So far, with the commercial metadata
sharing partnerships we have established, very few publishers have opted
out, to give you some indication. Please let me know if you have other
questions.

Thanks,
Amy
