PyMOL Sponsorship Information

---

If you use PyMOL at work, then you are asked to sponsor the project by purchasing a PyMOL Maintenance and/or Support Subscription. If you rely upon our convenient PyMOL Executable Builds instead of compiling your own builds from the Open-Source Code, then you are obligated to purchase maintenance services covering your scope of deployment.*

For further insight, please review our updated list of "Reasons to Sponsor PyMOL".

Subscription Pricing

• Academic (Non-profit)
     for academic researchers and educators.

• Industrial (For-Profit)
     for corporations and governments.

• Independent Contractors & Sole Proprietors
     for self-employed illustrators, animators, and consultants.

All paid subscriptions include upgrades during the subscription term, include access to PyMOL Incentive Products such as Online Documentation, and may include certain Support Services. Subscriptions are renewable on an annual basis at the mutual discretion of both parties.

* Subscriptions are not required for usage of PyMOL by full-time students or in teaching full-time students. In such cases, however, DeLano Scientific LLC has no obligation to grant download access, to fix bugs, furnish updates, provide documentation, or meet any other needs you may have. Practically speaking, long-term educational use of PyMOL requires purchase of a subscription in order to access essential services and secure baseline accountability.

Also note that if you compile, maintain, and support your own executable builds using the PyMOL Open-Source Code, then your usage of those builds is solely governed by the terms of the LICENSE file included with the source code.
