I was not aware that one could not make displays created from GEM data
freely available, but I see what you mean given the following statement
on our GEM page:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/feedtypes/gem.html

  "Re-distribution of the data, as they are or after processing, for other uses 
needs
   to be discussed and coordinated with the CMC. Users of the data need to be 
members
   of the Unidata community and have the LDM software up and running."

This restriction may be out of date as Jeff Weber got the CMC to allow us to
relay the GEM data through the IDD.  I will need to touch base with Jeff when
he returns from vacation on what his current understanding of the usage policy
is.  This should be in about a week, but I could be off by a few days.  If
you have not heard from us by September, pleased send us a reminder.

Cheers,

Tom
