I vaguely remember that we discussed ABySS license in private mail but
I'd like to come back here on the list to make you consider giving up a
non-free license. Besides the fact that it would be better to drop the
non-commercial restriction at all I think a license saying
You may use, redistribute and modify this software for non-commercial
purposes under the terms of the GNU General Public License
The restriction you apply to GPL afterwards seems to contradict the
GPL idea IMHO.
It would be great if you could reconsider to simply drop the restriction.
Kind regards
Andreas.
