[Sixpack-development] perl-bp

[David M. K. <dmk...@uc...>]

Hi Dana,

My name is David Kaplan and I am one of the people working on sixpack, a 
bibliographic system that uses perl-bp as its base.  For a while, we 
have been wanting to expand its powers, but one of the hindrances to 
bringing in programmers to develop it is that perl-bp is not publicly 
licensed.  People are afraid to put work into something that they might 
not legally be able to modify.

I was wondering if you would be willing to change the license of perl-bp 
to public (preferrably GPL as sixpack itself is GPL).  I think an email 
to that effect would be sufficient, but changing the actual license in 
the files would be even better.  We would also be willing to make any 
changes you directed us to make to the files.  The copyright would of 
course continue to be in your name and we would always acknowledge your 
efforts.

Thanks for the help and hope to hear from you soon.

David Kaplan
