The MEME commercial license is at http://techtransfer.universityofcalifornia.edu/NCD/Media/MEM... . How is this "unspecified terms that would need to hashed out with the tech transfer office"? The license is US$2,500 for a license, which as Pachter correctly points out is a small cost for most companies. Also, while it would be a significant improvement to you, would it be a significant improvement to the science? For example, I can't speak to MEME but I know of a couple other projects where the software is at low/no cost to academics and has a license fee for commercial use. This money is used to fund future development, which gives a funding source that is independent of grant funding. Pachter also points out this possibility. It can be frustrating if some people cannot use a package due to license terms or costs. But it can also be frustrating to use a package where no one is available to answer questions or fix bugs - which is something that funding can address.
