OK. Let me consult you now. What is your opinion about placing the bits of code
developed by you for GSAS (or other programs) in the Crystallography Source
Code Museum ?
Explicit agreement was obtained for quite famous codes like SHELX76,
SHELXS86, SIR-92, SIRPOW-92, for instance. Can people do less than
the authors of these prestigious codes ? Many other famous codes were highly
circulating in the past 30 years and contained explicit agreement for doing so
in the code itself. How many labs benefited from that free circulation ? How
many research could not have been done so fast without these codes ? Anyway,
if a code is in the Museum and should not be, it will be removed. A ghost mark will
stay on the wall, that's all.
Do that Museum is visited ? See a partial and recent list of connections at :

Is this useful ? Who knows ?
