Well, I suggested several times a possible solution, last time I explained my suggestion here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2012/01/msg00195.html You know, it's Free Software - just find (pay?) somebody who implements the suggestion and provides the code with a stripped down database to the free parts and makes other data available by other ways of distribution. Should be about half a day of coding maximum for a C++ programmer and needs some understanding of the process in which master.db was created including carefully checking the licenses (another two days?).
