Hello,

Can you tell me what are the licensing terms for Molprobity for commercial purpose ?

Molprobity is free and open source software distributed under a BSD-style license. Our official license statement can be found at the bottom of this page: http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/software/index.php and reads:
NOTICE: This is free software and the source code is freely
available. You are free to redistribute or modify under the
conditions that this notice is not removed or modified in any way.
** Absolutely no Warranty **

Since version 4.1, MolProbity has made use of the cctbx_project codebase. The cctbx_project is also free and open-source, and its license can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/p/cctbx/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/cctbx/LICENSE_2_0.txt at the moment.

The Phenix project, with which we are associated, does require a special license for industry users. However, MolProbity does not make use of proprietary components of Phenix, and therefore its use does not require this special licensing.

If you have cause to cite MolProbity in publications, please cite:
Vincent B. Chen, W. Bryan Arendall III, Jeffrey J. Headd, Daniel A. Keedy, Robert M. Immormino, Gary J. Kapral, Laura W. Murray, Jane S. Richardson and David C. Richardson (2010) MolProbity: all-atom structure validation for macromolecular crystallography. Acta Crystallographica D66: 12-21.

And we are always happy to receive suggestions for improvements.
