Re: [DIYbio] DIYBio and commons-based peer production in the field of agricultural biotechnologies

It's sadly neglected because of the ambiguity surrounding DNA-as-code vs DNA-as-molecule. Those licenses that do exist are heavily flawed, and very attached to their parent organisations. The BPA for eg requires you to put the Bio bricks Foundation logo on any derivative works. I think the original BSD license had similar nonsense..

Also, there are no copy left licenses yet AFAIK, which is a pain. Copy left is necessary to prevent adopt/extend/extinguish, a well documented anti-open tactic pioneered by Microsoft back when they were relevant, and continued by similar organisations long since.

I meant that if there were some mysterious OSB out there, I would expect some kind of reference to pop up.  According to searching the google group (where our results should be the same), OSB stands for "open source brain" "oriented strand board" and is used to describe cambia in some context.  Cambia refers to it as BiOS though.
