Creative Commons pour les gènes ?

The short answer is no. There is a long essay waiting to be written here. But for now, I can say that the reason it will not work is because there is no clear legal foundation to build a license on top of when it comes to sequence data. Creative Commons licenses have copyright to build on. Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) have good old fashioned property law to build on (turns out important things still exist outside of the bitsphere). A personal genome sequence is, well, just bits.

Le problème du droit à maintenir dans le domaine privé les informations sur ses gènes que nous avons déjà évoqué ici et ici devient, visiblement, de plus en plus prégnant.
