Dear Flip,
I agree that the first source of all this is the poverty gap among
countries, and among social classes (yes, I do believe they exist...)
We all, as citizens, must address and make our best to solve this big
problem. But, as scientists there are comparatively "small" issues that
only ourselves can tackle (unhappily we are far isolated from society
than we should) And the public accessibility of science-relevant data
is one of these issues (I'm sorry but I can't hardly make a scientific
distintion between "novel-scientific structures" and "drug-developping
structures". In my opinion all them contain useful information for
further research, in different degrees, this is true)

This is an example of why I can't be the judge of people doing your
work. If this is really your personal commitment, I would encourage you
to go on with it. Yet, I'm quite sceptical about the use that industry
would do with such advancements. But I may be wrong...
Cheers,
Miguel
