Adnen,

I believe in one of your earlier posts that you said that you were an 
academic.  I believe that your best next step might be to contact Olsen 
and the other data providers mentioned here directly and ask them about 
their policy for sharing data with academics for research purposes. 
Many organizations have academic waivers for their licensing fees, and 
may be willing to provide you the information that you seek free of 
charge for your research.

Regards,
