Hi, Simon,

The original CRI-MAP by Dr. Green et al does not require a license. He used
to send you a copy directly upon a personal request statement "for academic
use only". Later it was hosted at Rutgers for Green
(http://compgen.rutgers.edu/old/multimap/crimap/) and no license is
claimed, even an GNU artistic license. Citation for use is requested.

The improved CRI-MAP by Jill Maddox et al does not claim for license
either. My understanding is that it's supported by "public" funding thus
free for academic and research in public domain - Jill on this mailing list
may give a more accurate answer. By the way, any possible funding from
AgResearch or elsewhere to support Jill for further CRI-MAP improvement
will surely be appreciated.

You may find both Phil Green and Jill Maddox's email on this web site to
confirm though.

Jill - Maybe we can put a license claim on the web?

Hi,

I'm a sysadmin at AgResearch, and am in the process of providing crimap-
improved for our scientists.

However, before I can install the software, I need to know under what
license it is provided, or is it public domain? I found no statement about
licensing anywhere on the website or in the source code.

cheers, Simon Guest
