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 ?


It is Glaxo
