PyMOL is an OPEN SOURCE program distributed under the "Python" license.
Please see the LICENSE file for additional information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
See INSTALL for installation instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PyMOL has the following external dependencies:
1. OpenGL
2. GLUT library for OpenGL
3. Python (v 1.5.2 or better) compiled WITH thread support
4. libpng (can compiled without it, but image saves won't work)
5. Tcl/Tk (technically optional)
6. Numerical Python (technically optional)
7. Python megawidgets (Pmw)

Specific Acknowledgments:
* Thanks to Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve for his contribution of the "sglite"
space group and symmetry handling module.
* Thanks to the scientists and management of Sunesis Pharmaceuticals
for supporting PyMOL development since its inception.
* Thanks to the Computational Crystallography Initiative (LBNL)
developers for their encouragement, ideas, and support.
* Thanks to Scott Walsh for being the first individual to provide
financial support for PyMOL.
* Thanks to the anonymous pharmacetical companies who have provided
financial support for hardware and development expenses (you know
who you are).
* Thanks to Brian Paul and the Precision Insight team for development
of Mesa/DRI which greatly assisted in the early development of PyMOL.
* Thanks to Michael Love for the first major outside port of PyMOL
(to GNU-Darwin/OSX) and for believing in the cause.
* Thanks for Paul Sherwood for making a concerted effort to develop
using PyMOL long before the software and vision had matured.
* Thanks to Jay Ponder for thoughtful email discussions on Tinker and
the role of open-source scientific software.
* Thanks to hundreds of PyMOL users for the many forms of feedback,
bug sightings, and encouragement they've provided.
