4.1. If something goes seriously wrong with the current implementation of the market (earthquake?), can someone else recreate the market elsehwere?

Tentative answer (I need to decide on an exact license for the data):
Yes. Backups of the database tables are be available here, excluding some private data in the trader and event tables, and excluding the orders table (making stop orders public could enable traders to manipulate prices to trigger the stops). When combined with the software to run it, these should be sufficient to recreate the market elsewhere.

The data will be available under a license which allows essentially unrestricted use after 24 hours(?). The exchange will reserve the right to charge for real-time access to trading data.
