Yes, I'll be there, though there isn't much more I can officially say, except that the new licence is almost ready. Apologies on behalf of CCP4 for the delay. Due to the increasing popularity of lawyers over scientists, a new licence had become necessary, but due to the number and diversity of stakeholders in CCP4, this was not a trivial undertaking. I've heard a few ill-informed rumours doing the rounds. Let me reassure people that the new licence is similar to the old one in spirit, though different in a few details, and better written. Anyway, hope to see many of you in Florence, though I'd rather talk about vino than licences ....
