Dear all, I did not realise before, but EMBOSS distribute more external data files, in particular some ontologies.
Among them, I have checked the biggest, Gene Ontology. http://www.geneontology.org/GO.cite.shtml GO Usage Policy The GO Consortium gives permission for any of its products to be used without license for any purpose under three conditions: That the Gene Ontology Consortium is clearly acknowledged as the source of the product; That any GO Consortium file(s) displayed publicly include the date(s) and/or version number(s) of the relevant GO file(s) (the GO is evolving and changes will occur with time); That neither the content of the GO file(s) nor the logical relationships embedded within the GO file(s) be altered in any way. This policy covers the GO ontology, the GO database and the annotations provided by GO Consortium members. There are at least six more ontologies, for which I have not checked the license yet. The problem is that, according to #682042, « Some EMBOSS applications assume these databases are installed ». I am currently considering to packages these data files in non-free, and have EMBOSS suggest them, or rename the current emboss package emboss-core, and create a non-free metapackage which would depend on emboss-core and the non-free data. Your thoughts about how to solve that problem are welcome.
