Mopac - public domain

[Drake Diedrich <Drake.Diedrich@anu.edu.au>]

   Before I put any effort into this, is anyone familiar with this law?
Is it the same as NASA's NQS that became Cray NQS (commercial),
Cern NQS (free?), GNQS (GPL), ... ?
Mopac is one of the few free computational chemistry packages, and already
has an rpm.
