Re: Please provide source code for Tandem Repeats Finder under a freely redistributable license
Hi again,
may be its due to vacations that I have not yet heard from you until now
regarding the licensing of TRF. I just want to inspire you by other
authors that have considered free licenses for instance MEGAN:
https://github.com/danielhuson/megan-ce/
Thanks for considering a free license for TRF
Andreas.
