Would there be any legal issues with having a cloud culture repository? I had a recent meeting with a nyc fbi agent about lab start-ups and sharing info/material and she was worried about the "wrong kind of people" getting their hands on biostuff and making bionasties. Maybe a biohaking license of sorts with a liability waiver would work? Just to have ppl on record and all action is transparent. Not that we have anything to hide.
