<strong>BioOriginality Principle.<br />
<br />
</strong></font><font size="3">BioOriginality states that any original information materials are in fact the product of previous data, information and knowledge. <br />
Therefore, the origin of any kind of mental work can not be claimed and dedicated solely to one person.<br />
<br />
This in practical terms means that there is<strong> no "founding father"</strong> for knowledge. <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, or an intellectual project on Earth is under BioLicense (hence under BioOriginality Principle), there is no <strong>'original'</strong> founder. <br />
<br />
Any present and future person/people is the "<a title="Perpetual founder" href="http://biolicense.org/index.php/Perpetual_founder" title="Perpetual founder">perpetual founder</a>" 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>. <br />
