Nice Quote

An article about computational science in a scientific publication is not the scholarship itself, it is merely advertising of the scholarship. The actual scholarship is the complete software development environment and the complete set of instructions which generated the figures.

    Good reason as to why such scholarship should be released under free licenses, software scholarship or otherwise.
