Jmol, lower case 'm'. JMol is a different project. (Since we're talking legal

As author, he may change the license whenever he wants.

But he cannot change the license of what he is released before. So, while the

mentioned in doc/. Nothing he can change about that; it's an agreement we and 
the author made in the past.
