If you modify parts of ARB and redistribute these changes the 'Lehrstuhl fuer Mikrobiologie' of the TU Muenchen gains the right to incorporate these changes into ARB and to redistribute them with future versions of ARB. LIBRARY LICENSE Some parts of arb are published under the ARB-public-library-license which should have been included in the file arb_PUBLIB_LICENSE.txt That license explicitely allows the use of these parts of arb in GPL-licensed projects.
