Hi Jerry,
Sorry for the tardy reply...
re:
>I had a basic question about THREDDS. Must all data that a site

No.

>addition to datasets that we provide free.
You are not the only group interested in using THREDDS for datasets
that have restricted access/use.
>Can a site use THREDDS to supply some data at a fee?
Yes.
Now, the next question is whether THREDDS currently provides the access
restriction mechanisms that you need. This is an active area of
investigation/development between the Unidata THREDDS developers and
the CDP (Community Data Portal) people in NCAR/CISL.
>Thanks,
No worries. Again, I apologize for not getting you an answer to
this sooner.
Cheers,
Tom Yoksas
