Hi,
I Just learned from the notes on the pathogen meeting that you discussed
purchasing a biorender licence. Just FYI,
here is an excerpt of an email that my PI recently circulated in our
group at the FU Berlin:

"Dear all,

I strongly discourage you from using BioRender in the future. They have
a ridiculous licensing policy. Even with the paid license
(!),
all figures you create are owned by BioRender,
you do not have any rights at all to use your figures if not approved by
BioRender, meaning you
can only use their figures in publications after their formal approval
of each individual figure,
and you still have to add a “Created with BioRender.com”.

Also, they breach European digital rights protection laws, as they
inspect and police your files.

Last but not least, you cannot publish your manuscripts Open Access with
the common CC BY license if you use BioRender figures –
because their license terms make it impossible to put BioRender figures
under CC BY. I have heard from a scientist that he was
forced by BioRender to issue a correction to one of his papers published
in PLOS ONE and to remove his BioRender-generated figures
from this paper."

Of course it is still a useful software.

Best,
Lukas
