FS#927 - [python2-biopython]: using vague "freely available" term in description
community/python2-biopython 1.69-1
Freely available Python tools for computational molecular biology
See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#FreelyAvailable
Don’t use “freely available software” as a synonym for “free software.” The terms are not equivalent. Software is “freely available” if anyone can easily get a copy. “Free software” is defined in terms of the freedom of users that have a copy of it. These are answers to different questions.
