[Chimera-users] Regarding publication using Chimera.

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Kavya,
Chimera is free for noncommercial (academic, educational, nonprofit) use, including making figures for presentations and publications.  In the publication, please cite any use of the program, whether for calculations and/or figures, as described here:
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/credits.html>

Commercial use, i.e. by a for-profit company, requires purchasing a license, as described here:
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/commercial_license.html>

I hope this helps,
Elaine

I wanted to ask if I could publish the images created in Chimera using that free version by citing it appropriately using the citation provided on the website or do I need to buy the license to publish?
