Dear Simona,
Avogadro is open source software - as such, you can absolutely mention it in
your textbooks.
As for a credit, it is probably best to have something like this:
Avogadro is free, open source software for molecular visualization, created by
a world-wide team: http://avogadro.cc/ <http://avogadro.cc/>
“Avogadro: An Advanced Semantic Chemical Editor, Visualization, and Analysis
Platform.” J. Cheminf. 2012 4:17.
Best regards,
-Geoff
