Put me in the nothing close to being OSI camp.<br>
<br>
It discriminates against anyone other than Illumina, Inc who would<br>
like to use it in gene sequencing software. I would therefore fail it<br>
under item 5. A major intent of open source software is exactly that<br>
you not discriminate in this way.<br>
<br>
But I'm a private citizen and my interpretation is only my<br>
interpretation. If you're specifically interested in Debian, then go<br>
to <a href="https://www.debian.org/legal/" target="_blank">https://www.debian.org/legal/</a> and get on their mailing lists to get<br>
their opinions. Because that is the only one that matters.<br>
