Re: BEAGLE Genetic Analysis for Debian Med
Hi Brian,
thanks for your quick response. I added your remark to the copyright
file of Beast. So it will go to non-free for the moment and we will
ping you later again to check whether we could upload beagle as separate
library with source code which in turn will also free Beast.
Thanks for your kind cooperation
Andreas.
