I'm not sure thats *all* you need :-)

I put it in because I was working on the bond code and we do hope to
support 2D at some point down the road.

All carbons not displayed is easy.
If you make the z coordinate zero and stick it in a .xyz/.pdb/.mol file
then, as far as I am concerned, it is 3D. And it will display just fine.

But ... your end users will be able to rotate it in 3D ... not sure that
is what you want.

(And, somehow we have to flag these stereo bonds.)

Hmmm ...

Patent database ... in the US? Europe?

Do you want to display patented chemical structures?

You have a lot of lawyers there who are 'experts' on intellectual property
rights.

In all seriousness, I would *love* to have an intellectual property
attorney read the Gnu Lesser Public License and interpret it in the
context of your request.


Some personal random thoughts/comments (without having reread the GLPL and
without having talked with other Jmol team members)

 - I need a little more information and would need to understand the
database/web application a little more.
 - If the database is 100% publicly accessible and public funded, then I
would say 'probably yes'
 - if the database is private, with both commercial and public access,
then I would say 'maybe ... we can probably work something out'

In either case, the Jmol team probably needs to come up with a
'powered-by-Jmol' logo/link for applications like yours :-)
