+<h2>[% terms.Bugzilla %] Data For Researchers</h2>
+
+<p>In the past we have made sanitized (that is, with all security [% terms.bug %] information removed) dumps of the
+  bugzilla.mozilla.org database available to researchers from <i>bona fide</i> academic institutions who
+  are willing to agree to our requirements for data handling and user privacy. We would much prefer
+  individuals to request this service rather than attempt to spider the data using the web interface.</p>
+
+<p>Because we are familiar with the [% terms.Bugzilla %] data and its possible flaws and biases, we are
+  also happy to answer questions about it, and review papers which make use of it pre-publication. Please
+  let us know if you would like us to do that.</p>
+
+<p>To request a sanitized copy of the database, please file a [% terms.bug %] against
+  <a href="enter_bug.cgi?product=bugzilla.mozilla.org&component=Administration">
+  bugzilla.mozilla.org/Administration</a> with the following information included.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Description of why you need the copy.</li>
+  <li>The academic institution you are associated with along with any course related information.</li>
+  <li>Contact information for yourself and your professor, mentor, or person overseeing your work.</li>
+  <li>How soon you will need the data.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Once the request has been approved you will be asked to sign an <i>Agreement for Receipt and Use
+of [% terms.Bugzilla %] Data</i>. An administrator will then create the MySQL dump of the sanitized data and place
+it somewhere you will be able to access it.</p>
