Anybody with contacts to the University of Washington

[Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>]

Hi,

there are two packages developed by peoples from the University of Washington
which would be interesting for Debian-Med.  Like the famous phylip (same
university these packages are covered by a non-free (or even no) license:

  Tinker: http://dasher.wustl.edu/tinker/
          License at http://dasher.wustl.edu/tinker/license.html

  Raster3D: http://www.bmsc.washington.edu/raster3d/raster3d.html
          I did not found a license.

It would be great if somebody would spend his time to explain the authors
(or should I say authorities here, because sometimes the authors are not the
only persons involved here?) the advantages of Free Software, which advantages
they could gain if these fine programs would be spred over the world on
the back of Debian, etc.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
