Now it is under a different license, a BSD license that is open-source. Felsenst (talk) 20:38, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi all, I just added a reference to Genozip in this article, a tool of which I am the author. Per Wikipedia rules, I have declared a "conflict of interest". I added it because I think it genuinely relevant for this article and adds value to the readers. If you agree, please kindly remove the template message.

PHYLIP site has moved edit

Owing to my retirement and the end of my department's subsidy of my computer accounts on their machines, I have moved the PHYLIP site to a Github account for that project. The new location is at: phylipweb.github.io/phylip Would someone please edit the PHYLIP Wikipedia page to reflect that? The up-to-2013 list of phylogeny programs will also be found there.

Also, PHYLIP is distributed from that site but people should not try to fetch (or clone) the contents of the site. The home page of PHYLIP (at the link given above) has links for downloading source code archives and source-and-executables-and-documentation archives for different operating systems. Any github repositories contain code that is being worked on for the future 4.0 release. Most of that code will not run. Felsenst (talk) 20:36, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
