Dear FOI (NE),
In light of your response, I accept that there is too much information to be collated and provided within a reasonable amount of time.
As you suggest, I'd be happy with one year's worth of licenses where a brief project description is given. I request the year 2011.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Davidson
