[Bioperl-l] Re: [BiO BB] About array CGH data based on BAC clones

[Hilmar Lapp]

Dear Emmanuel,

I'm interested in why you make the license of these software packages a 
secret instead of clearly and openly stating it (or them). Or is the 
exact license negotiable?

(If I were to consider my options for a certain kind of software I 
shouldn't have to email 20 people to inquire about the licenses, don't 
you think?)
