That's the open-source ethos

My comment was tongue in cheek, of course :-)

Seriously, this is what I love about open source development - people working together for the common good. I had terrible trouble convincing my boss that there was such a thing when we first entered computational biology ("Noone just gives their stuff away!") was his reaction. I think it runs counter to the culture of competition in research science, which is why a lot of old-school researchers just "don't get it".

Its hardly advertising for the competition !! I think the two tools work well together in providing a search and analysis component for bioinformatics. Ideally we should combine the two projects, and who knows that might happen sometime.

Looking good

Excellent work - I have it installed. And very gracious of you to advertise your competitors!
