Scientific software banned because EU is evil

Stefan Mileschin · 16th November 2015, 06:42

Key software used by boffins researching phylogenetic trees from molecular sequences has been withdrawn because the eccentric writer is opposed to letting immigrants into Europe.

However it has caused some problems in the scientific world. This week an 11-year-old research paper had to be retracted. BMC Evolutionary Biology has pulled the 2004 paper describing the software because the license change ‘breaches the journal’s editorial policy on software availability.’

Gangolf Jobb said he would not permit the use of TREEFINDER software in the following EU countries: Germany, Austria, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain, Sweden, Denmark – the countries that together host most of the non-European immigrants.

The USA was already excluded from using Treefinder in February 2015 because of its imperialism.

“The license (sic) agreement stated in the TREEFINDER manual since the earliest versions, which reserves me the right to change the license (sic) agreement at any time. I can do this because Treefinder is my own property,” Jobb said.
