Indeed. All code developed at the NCBI is public domain. Anyone can
"cannibalize" it, repackage it, or resell it if they want to. We think of
this as a good thing.
WRT your original question, I think it is a bit open-ended. A lot depends
on what you want to do with the data. For instance, do you need a clean
dataset of excellent ORFs, or do you want to get _all_ the reasonable ORFs
from the ests?
If you explain the purpose and outline the steps, you'll get plenty of
advice, I'm sure.
