<br />
</strong></font><font size="3">BioOriginality states that any original information materials are in fact the product of previous data, information and knowledge.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
This in practical terms means that there is<strong> no &quot;founding father&quot;</strong> for knowledge.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
The term BioOriginality is tightly associated with <a title="BioLicense" href="http://biolicense.org/index.php/BioLicense" title="BioLicense">BioLicense</a>.<br />
<br />
In practice, if any web site, media,&nbsp;or an intellectual project on Earth&nbsp;is under BioLicense (hence under BioOriginality Principle), there is no <strong>'original'</strong> founder.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any present and future person/people is the &quot;<a title="Perpetual founder" href="http://biolicense.org/index.php/Perpetual_founder" title="Perpetual founder">perpetual founder</a>&quot; of the project. For example, the original BioPerl project license said that anyone who edited a single character of the BioPerl module becomes the owner and main participant of the BioPerl. Any active person in such a project is effectively the founder (as intellectual properties keep changing and even evolving).<br />
<br />
<strong>BioLicense is under BioLicense</strong>.&nbsp;<br />
