I have contacted the UniProt consortium about the UniProt records in EMBOSS, to ask them if they consider them copyrightable, and if it is not the case, if they could provide a replacement such as test data distributed under a Free license. If this does not work, I will ask for the removal of EMBOSS and re-upload to non-free.
