+Frequently asked questions about Clustal licensing? |
56 |
+--------------------------------------------------- |
57 |
+ |
58 |
+1. Do I have to pay to use ClustalW or ClustalX? |
59 |
+No - unless you wish to redistribute Clustal for profit. In this case see question 4. |
60 |
+ |
61 |
+2. Can I redistribute the Clustal binaries and source code? |
62 |
+Yes. We have always wanted to see Clustal have as wide a userbase and distribution network as possible and are happy to see other sites host copies of the official Clustal code. |
63 |
+ |
64 |
+3. Can I make changes to the source code? |
65 |
+You can make changes for your own purposes but you should not redistribute the changed code. |
66 |
+ |
67 |
+4. I want to include ClustalW/ClustalX in a commercial application who should I contact? |
68 |
+Toby Gibson at gibson@××××.de (also cc des.higgins@×××.ie) |
69 |
+ |
70 |
+5. There is no Clustal distribution for platform X. I have changed the code in order to compile Clustal on this platform. Can I redistribute it? |
71 |
+Ideally you should send us a copy of your source code changes as well as a binary. We will include it in our contributed binaries section on our FTP site along with an acknowledgement of your contribution. |
