Dear Johannes, Thanks for your answer. That is what I thought, but I never know with these things. A probably not-good analogy: anyone can find a crack to proprietary program xyz, but I guess there are limits to what one is supposed to be allowed to do with those programs and/or key generators. Since I link to the whole message, all information about author, etc, is included (i.e., there is no problem of quoting without attribution), but would someone be able to claim that they wrote the message for the BioC email list, not for it to be linked by me? Anyway, the link to the rudimentary FAQ (including the links to BioC) in: http://bioinfo.cnio.es/~rdiaz/StatsConsulting/CNIO-stats-FAQ.htm Best, R.
