[bip] License - was Re: domain name for community site

[Bruce Southey]

Hi,
For code examples, I would also agree with a BSD-style license
especially as that fits with the BioPython and Numerical Python
licenses. However, if you want code back then a different choice is
probably required.

I would also note that Perl and related code uses the Artistic license 2:
http://www.perlfoundation.org/artistic_license_2_0
