Hi Michael,
BTW, I have "stolen" your work (stolen in a sense that I took over your
changelog entry since I needed to sign it and since beeing in a hurry I
completely forgot the option to use -k - if you mind I'll remove the
current upload and re-upload with your ID) and uploaded to Debian Med
PPA. May be we need to remove from PPA anyway - due to the licensing
issues and I simply was to quick (should not work in a hurry :-().
No worries. Out of an abundance of caution I scheduled the package for deletion from the PPA (but see below for more on the subject)
`prokka-tigrfams_to_hmm` & `prokka-make_tarball` are not for end users which is why I didn't ship them.

Something like this. If I understood debian/copyright correctly not all
data sets are CC-BY-ND.
5 of the 8 datasets are CC-BY-ND by my count.
Am I understanding things correctly that the
code might serve some purpose with a free subset of data and could be
enhanced by other data in non-free + downloaded data?
No, the code is useless without the non-free data :-/
They take quite a while to generate and the distribution of them is a big time saver.
Has anybody contacted the copyright holders of the data in question?
Upon review of
http://www.uniprot.org/help/license I think we may be in the clear. CC-BY-NC covers the design and organizational structure of the databases in question but facts of nature (the protein sequences) are uncopyrightable.
Does that hold up for you?
Kind regards
Andreas.
