This is only very slightly off-topic, but pretty relevant for a lot of
us in academia developing software, particularly Swarm applications...
"Petition to Public Funding Agencies: Support Open Source Software"
http://www.openinformatics.org/dsp_petition.php
It's a petition to make software developed through research funded
through public grants (NIH/NSF grants etc.) to be able to released as
open source software...
So do a good thing today, and go and sign this...
I now return you to your regularly scheduled swarm-support /
swarm-modelling...
