Forwarding this to the list for a public record, thank you
Cecilia for your agreement - we can now dual license
all of the Bio.SeqUtils module!

Thank you!

This email is fine - if I may forward it to our mailing list
as a public record?

You would need to first subscribe to the mailing list in order
to be able to post there yourself - which you are of course
welcome to do: https://biopython.org/wiki/Mailing_lists

If you have a GitHub account, that would be easier as you
could comment on the issue directly.

Kind regards,

Peter
