Dear Bioconductor developers, Is Bioconductor software free for industry or profit organizations? Thanks, Fangyi

> Is Bioconductor software free for industry or profit organizations? Yes, insofar as the license of the packages is still respected. I believe that all packages are licensed under the LGPL or the GPL (You can see what license a package is under by looking at the DESCRIPTION file, or alternatively by clicking on the package name on the download pages).
