european molecular biology free software suite
EMBOSS is a free Open Source software analysis package specially developed for the needs of the molecular biology (e.g. EMBnet) user community. The software automatically copes with data in a variety of formats and even allows transparent retrieval of sequence data from the web. Also, as extensive libraries are provided with the package, it is a platform to allow other scientists to develop and release software in true free software spirit. EMBOSS also integrates a range of currently available packages and tools for sequence analysis into a seamless whole. EMBOSS breaks the historical trend towards commercial software packages.

Parsing of ACD files does not constitute a "derived work" and developers are encouraged to do this, for example to write their own GUIs.
For developers who have their own licensing conditions already in effect, there will be an additional way to contribute. The EMBASSY collection can include packages that use the EMBOSS core libraries and interfaces but under their own licensing conditions. They will be bound by the Library GPL of the AJAX and NUCLEUS libraries, but not necessarily by the full GPL.
Some of the suggestions and code examples from David Hanson's book "C Interfaces and Implementations" are included in the AJAX library. This library is available from http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/cii/ or ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/packages/cii/
