The functionality is within the domain of Biopython.  However, all the
code in Biopython is under the Biopython license, which is BSD-like.
I'm afraid we can't allow different licenses for different parts of
the code.

Generally, the conditions for submitting code are:
- It must be generalizable.
- You must be the owner and copyright holder of the code with the
legal authority to redistribute and license as you see fit.
- You must be willing to maintain it.
- The code will be licensed under the Biopython license.

Are you be willing and able to relicense it?
