+The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS) is a
+comprehensive set (about 100) of open source tools for genetic sequence
+analysis. EMBOSS is produced by the European Molecular Biology Network
+(EMBnet - http://www.embnet.org/).
+
+All EMBOSS tools are all built around the same set of core libraries - AJAX
+and NUCLEUS - and therefore share a unified user interface and a uniform
+sequence addressing methodology.
+
+The various components of EMBOSS are distributed under the GPL, except the
+core libraries which are under the LGPL.
