Hi again Mikita,

I have not yet seen any change inside the download tarball.  Am I
missing something?

Kind regards

   Andreas.

Hello Mikita,

I re-checked your web site and was not able to find the update that
includes the license statement.  Is there any chance for you to get
access to the web site to make this public?

Kind regards

Andreas.

Hello Mikita,

Thank you very much!

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

Hello Michael,

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

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,
