Oh, is that to say that the BBF are *only* responsible for developing
Open Source DNA licenses and maintaining OpenWetWare, then?
I thought they and the Parts Registry were one and the same. Must do
homework/retract emails if unfounded/offer donations if so.

Withdrawing support from the BFF won't change the policies of these other companies.

The BBF aims to make biological engineering more "Open" and "Accessible", and yet non-institutional biologists are entirely denied access to the parts registry, and registration for IGEM is extremely expensive per person.
