There are no copyright fees with the HCL. Researchers using the instrument are free to publish their results independently.
In order to avoid copyright problems the authors should always cite the first paper on the HCL:

Joint data analysis and publications
In order to develop a shorter scale every centre is asked to send their data (after they have been analysed locally) to Zurich in order to allow later joint analyses and publications. If a centre needs support in data processing this might be given by the Zurich group.
