I wish that the license policy could be more flexible. --------------------------- CHARMM c32b1 driven by RHEL 2.6.9-22.0.2 on PPC64

The money helps support the continued development of academic CHARMM, and the CHARMm agreement with Accelrys may limit what can be done wrt. to licensing policy. Rick Venable computational chemist
