Re: [DIYbio] Open Source Licenses for publishing sequences?

Thanks Marc,

Wow, I had no idea, thanks for the reply. To me, this is clearly going
to change. The analogy here is we goto mars and come across a cache of
books/texts of an alien race, and sure like primitive monkeys we can
only copy, paste & delete parts of alien-Shakespeare - but I don't see
how that's not creative. As you say we will learn how to read & write
in this alien language and make better abstractions (like biobricks)
surely we enter a realm that's clearly copyrightable.

I guess that's why Real Vegan Cheese is exploring patents?
