Hi Chris,
	I can't imagine it won't be okay, but nonetheless could you list  
which files from Chimera you'll make available?  The basic intent of  
that part of the license is to protect us from someone taking Chimera,  
modifying two lines of code, and then posting the whole thing as  
"new".  Taking a smallish part of Chimera and adding a significant  
improvement, like you did, is something we want to encourage.
	Thanks.
