I think that the concern is that the source code is a bit sloppy in that
it does not explicitly say that it *is* open source.

./Visua.java: * Copyright (c) Guillaume Cottenceau, 1998

If we are going to use this code (or a derivative work of this code) then
we need to get clarification from Guillaume Cottenceau that the source
code is open-source.

./utils/StringDataUtils.java: * Copyright (c) 2005, Shravan Sadasivan &
Richard Spinney

We just need to put the LGPL (or other open source) copyright notice in
this file.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] jcamp]$ find . -name \*.java | xargs grep
--files-without-match copyright
./GraphCharacteristics.java
./data/GraphControlData.java
./Visua.java
./SaisieDlg.java
./utils/NumericDataUtils.java
./utils/StringDataUtils.java
./ZoneVisu.java
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jcamp]$


These files need copyright notice.

Very good.

My understanding (only from messages on the list) is that Robert's applet
is not currently released under an open source license, although he is
considering a license change that would make it open source.

I personally have had no recent contact with Robert.

I encourage you to coordinate with Bob Hanson and others on the
jmol-developers mailing list.
