Hey Guys,
There seems to be alot of interest around open science and how to go about that,
Has anyone looked at Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/) or Open source licenses such as Apache 2.0, MIT, GPL
Has anyone thought about creating a more specific license for biology (sequences/protocols/etc) ?
For example it's unclear what license/terms the parts in iGEM use http://parts.igem.org
Hi Jarrad. It is generally accepted that copyright does not apply to DNA as it does not constitute a creative work. This may change in the future as increasingly complex DNA is designed by humans. There are some legal arguments available for why copyright may already apply to certain DNA sequences. For now DNA is in the regime of patents. iGEM parts use the Biobrick Public Agreement (BPA): https://biobricks.org/bpa/
