Most free software is copyrighted by the author or sponsor,
who retain all rights. They specifically grant you a right
to use this software freely, perhaps only for non-commercial
uses. Use of copyrighted software in commercial packages or
other uses that make money require consent from the author.
Many of the free software programs come with source code, so
you can modify and extend it. This is a great boon to let
sophisticated users do a needed analysis, but keep in mind
use of such in a commercial product isn't allowed. If the
author explicitly places his work in the public domain, s/he
retains no control, and it can be used in commercial applications.
The Biology board on MIT BBS does not encourage using/sharing
of pirated softwares. And it is your responsibility not to
request for such service. We highly appreciate it.
