Yes. Jmol is licensed with the LGPL, the GNU Lesser General Public License (see http://jmol.sourceforge.net/www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#LGPL). This license, unlike the GPL license, allows embedding of the software in proprietary software. Mind though, that modifications to the Jmol library itself, but not the software in which it is embedded, must be released with LGPL. But again, all software which wraps Jmol into your program, *and* your proprietary software can have any license. Egon PS. BTW, I'm assuming here that you mean proprietary software instead of commercial software, as opensource software can be commercial too (think RedHat, Suse, etc) ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
