[Biopython] BSD dual licensing of Thomas Sicheritz-Ponten's contributions

[Peter Cock]

Forwarding this to the list for a public record, thank you
Thomas for your agreement.

At this point over 20% of the Bio/ and BioSQL/ Python files
are dual licensed (counting files, or the lines in the files).

Dear Thomas,

Around 2000 to 2004, you made a lot of contributions to
Biopython under the CVS username thomas.

Quite recently, we have started an effort to dual license the code
under both the "Biopython License Agreement" (a unique license)
and the "BSD 3-Clause License" (a widely used mainstream open
source license).

To that end, we are asking all our contributors to publicly agree
to dual license their contributions - either on this GitHub issue,
or an email on our public mailing list:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues/898

Would you agree to this too please?

Many thanks,

Peter
