 >Subject: [Bioinformatics] Open Source Petition FAQ
 As a note, this is the first draft of the FAQ and was
 posted for comment on the Bioinformatics list hosted
 at O'Reilly.  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.
