It is fine with me, if you use code snippets from the Bioperl tutorial
in your web-based course.

I am also forwarding your request to the official bioperl mailing list
to detemine whether the perl license (which is also used by bioperl)
places any restrictions on use of bioperl code in a
presumably-commercial course.  I don't think there is such a limitation,
but I must admit to being pretty ignorant when it comes to the details
of all the different open-source licenses out there.
