Hello Michael,
I put a sentence about the license to the script, so from now on, the
script (pal2nal.pl v14.1) is licensed under GPL v2.0.
At the moment, I don't have an access permission to the download site of
PAL2NAL on the web, so I attached a tar.gz file that contains the
modified script with the license declaration.
best regards,
Mikita

Hi Peer,
Thank you for forwarding the message.
Hello Michael,
I will set GPL license to PAL2NAL to make the things clear.
I'll modify the header of the code to clarify this license, and
put it to the download site, and also send a copy to you.
But, unfortunately, now I'm on my business trip and have little time
to access the code. So, I'll do this as soon as I come back to the
office, which will be on next Tuesday (Oct 17th).
Best regards,
Mikita

Hi Mikita,
I never thought about licenses, but having a gnu etc thingy might
be better than having it open source. Up to you

*Subject:* *Lack of license for pal2nal*
Hello,
I'm writing you on behalf of the Debian Med team which is a subgroup
inside Debian with the objective to package free software in the
field
of biology and medicine for official Debian releases. We have
packaged pal2nal but we can not distribute it as it has no license.
Since Debian only distributes free software (for instance
licensed under
GPL, BSD or so) we are wondering whether you might consider to
publish
the source code of this software under a free license.
The advantage would be that users of Debian / Ubuntu and its
derivatives
systems which are quite frequently used in bioinformatics could
easily
install your software. You also get some additional quality
assurance
and I can confirm that all authors who decided to open source their
software to enable the Debian Med packaging team were happy
about this
step since it contributed to a wider distribution of their
software and
a better user response.
Kind regards and thanks for considering,
