Galxo shares 13,500 chemical compounds with public which may be
capable against Malaria.
It won't seek any patents on any malaria drug, but might consider them
if the compounds yield drug for other diseases.

Well, guess what ? Galxo didn't just suddenly realize the benefit of an open 
source approach out of the goodness in their heart. They were compelled to do 
so 
by the people who gave them the research grant. Want to take a wild guess who 
these people are ?
