Hi Andreas For the new RO we made the code BSD and the content CC-BY 3.0. The content is the part that is required by EMBOSS
http://code.google.com/p/obo-relations/ Is this sufficient for the old OBO_REL (http://obofoundry.org/ro)? Is my agreement sufficient? Or do you need a license file embedded somewhere on the website (the content is somewhat frozen at the moment, I advise EMBOSS to move to the new RO)?
