You can script the CDK in python using -

There is also:

 In addition, CDK, being a library, is not directly usable in
 Perl/Shell/Unix environment. Someone some day has to build a set of Unix
 executables for CDK to be usable in our context... Like ones you have
 build in Vilnius for Jumbo, for instance.
 
 We used to have those, but since they were not used a lot at the time
 (years and years ago), we stopped maintaining them.
 
 This weekend, during the #blueobelisk hackathon in Cambridge, we
 discussed it again, as there is now a simple framework that takes away
 much of the work... I am tempted to introduce the cmd line apps for
 the CDK again (in a separate project)...
 
 So, what would you need? Please file needs here:
 
 https://github.com/egonw/cdkcmd/issues
 
 Another approach would be to try to call CDK directly from the Perl
 using Inline::Java module, but then again we need to build objects
 suitable for CDK.
 
 Interesting idea... the command line utils I have an idea about how I
 would do that... for this, I am not sure, but I can imagine they share
 the wrapping command classes...

Re: [Cdk-user] CDK License

2014-03-28 Thread lochana menikarachchi
I thought companies might be more interested in contributing to CDK if it is 
under apache 2.0..

I choose BSD for new projects but it would be a lot of work to track down and 
get confirmation from everyone. 

Java is a bit of an odd ball since, almost everything is dynamically linked, 
the only exception being static variables. 

GNU’s official stance with Java is that Applications which link to LGPL 
libraries need not be released under the LGPL - 
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-java.html. I might add that to the README 
actually.

Is there any reason to distribute CDK under LGPL license?

CDK was licensed LGPL because it was based on CompChem, Jmol, and
JChemPaint were LGPL.


Why not apache license?

I do not remember the reasons why those tools had that license.

If I had to (chance to) change the license of the CDK (which involves
getting in contact with a lot of people and getting approval) is to
move to BSD or MIT, not Apache...

What would it add? People already can embed the CDK in proprietary
software; I know the linking is always a bit unclear, but to me
(personally), anything not changing the CDK classes itself, is
*linking*.

Why would you not choose LGPL?


Also, did you guys thought about incubating CDK as an apache project??

What would that add? I sounds to me we would get a lot more formal
meeting if we would, distracting us from the work... ?

My 2 cents...

Egon
