It was not meant to be widely distributed. The views are currently those of the FAQ author rather than of the petition signers or those involved in the discussion (like me). If you are interested in adding to the discussion, please visit the main site for the petition at http://www.openinformatics.org/ and also read the discussion archives at http://labs.oreilly.com/mailman/listinfo/bioinformatics Since my name was listed right at the top of Eugene's forward, let me also add that I am against the petition, for reasons outlined later on in the text. That description will be updated in the next version of the FAQ to better explain my position. Andrew Dalke dalke@dalkescientific.com
