<strong><font size="5"><strong>BioOriginality Principle.</font></strong><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 />Therefore, the origin of any kind of mental work can not be claimed and dedicated solely to one person.<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 />

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 />

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 />

Therefore, the founder of BioLicense is YOU who is reading and contributing in anyway and affects the world in an indirect and direct way in the future.</font>&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong><font size="5">See also</font></strong><br /><font size="3">[http://biooriginality.com Biooriginality.com]</font><br />
