Send this to Jen in advanced microbiological so they can use it.
We did it!
You do realize we only have one sample?
And we need countless millions.
Nevertheless, here’s to celebrating the moment.
To free software, to your incredible coding skills, and to collaboration!
We may just save the day after all.

That was something, wasn’t it?
You can say that again.
You were amazing.
Well, it wasn’t me. It was us.
Science just works better through collaboration.
Sharing the best tools, code, ideas -- all of it.

But it’s proprietary. We signed a non-disclosure agreement.
If we could just access the source code...
We could enhance the software to handle the stress of having to process all the different strains.
Let me see what I can do.
This is our revenue stream. I can’t just give it away.
This decision will cause a lot of harm.
Free software empowers users to solve the problems of today.
