BioOriginality Principle.

BioOriginality states that any original information materials are in fact the product of previous data, information and knowledge. 
Therefore, the origin of any kind of mental work can not be claimed and dedicated solely to one person.

This in practical terms means that there is no "founding father" for knowledge.  
The term BioOriginality is tightly associated with BioLicense.

In practice, if any web site, media, or an intellectual project on Earth is under BioLicense (hence under BioOriginality Principle), there is no 'original' founder. 

Any present and future person/people is the "perpetual founder" of the project. For example, the original BioPerl project license said that anyone who edited a single character of the BioPerl module becomes the owner and main participant of the BioPerl. Any active person in such a project is effectively the founder (as intellectual properties keep changing and even evolving).

BioLicense is under BioLicense
Therefore, the founder of BioLicense is YOU who is reading and contributing in anyway and affects the world in an indirect and direct way in the future.
