Regarding the license:
> Allen Institute Software License – This software license is the 2-clause BSD license plus clause a third clause that prohibits redistribution and use for commercial purposes without further permission.
I hadn't seen this before, If I am interpreting it correctly, it is basically saying "Look but don't touch, except you can run it for verification/reproducibility purposes". Right?
I suspect that even a non-profit, running this code or a derivative of it on their own servers would run afoul of the additional restrictions.
This means that a researcher that uses any of this code or it's derivatives in their own research is planting a huge downstream landmine into their own code.
