Hi Vincent, How about:
This package is the adaptation of the PHYLIP package in which its programs can operate with the biological sequence formats and databases of the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS). The software packages adapted for EMBOSS are called EMBASSY. . PHYLIP (the PHYLogeny Inference Package) is a package of programs for inferring phylogenies (evolutionary trees). Methods that are available in the package include parsimony, distance matrix, and likelihood methods, including bootstrapping and consensus trees. Data types that can be handled include molecular sequences, gene frequencies, restriction sites and fragments, distance matrices, and discrete characters. . The EMBASSY PHYLIP programs all have the prefix "f" to distinguish them from the original programs and avoid namespace conflict. > Moreover, reading your part on EMBASSY, I understand that EMBOSS is GPL > but not necessarily EMBASSY. Am I right ? (I cannot because PHYLIP is not > free, so either PHYLIP is not a part of EMBOSS or EMBOSS is not all GPL) Sorry for the confusion. EMBOSS applications are GPL and EMBOSS libraries are LGPL. As Andreas pointed out, there is a lot of source duplication between the PHYLIP and its EMBASSY fork. But building one from the other seems to be a lot of complication for no benefit, as the EMBASSY PHYLIP programs are not wrappers..
