Sascha, I am somewhat concerned by some of your comments. Just to clarify ... You said: > I'll have to check with our IP guys, but I think I'll be > able to contribute the J# version back to the Jmol project. You are doing a direct translation of the Jmol source code into J#. That is clearly a derivative work. If you use or modify the Jmol source code then you must make the source code available unde the LGPL license. The Jmol project may or may not choose to incorporate your source, but the decision is ours, not yours. If those terms are not acceptable then you may not use the Jmol source code. Make sure your *IP guys* understand and agree with that. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html No doubt the legal staff at Brown takes IP very seriously ... I do too. Please feel free to contact me if you or your attorneys have any questions.
