I would need to know more about the material or database software to be licensed and the basic terms of use you have in mind. If we agree to work together, you could hire me to draft the proper license agreements. There may be other documents needed for people who developed the CRM with you, if any. We would have to discuss how the user would assent to the terms and what protections should be in place such as copyright, trademark, or patents. You may call me at 415-377-3919.
