@rty10 feel free to update/edit/shorten the list of names in the first line ... Not sure who added what to the current code base so maybe other members should be added here (Stefjord?).

@nicocvn who authored the first iteration of the electrostatics and do we need to include them in this? After talking with Stefi, we cannot determine if he ever added to this so I guess not include him in the list.

nicocvn commented 3 years ago

@rty10 I am pretty confident this is mostly Juan Wei work; I know that I helped her a bit at some point but I never "effectively" worked on the electrostatics code.

rty10 commented 3 years ago

@nicocvn I would suggest including Juan Wei then, just to be consistent.

nicocvn commented 3 years ago

Agreed.

rty10 commented 3 years ago

@nicocvn Should this license include the main publication to be cited?

nicocvn commented 3 years ago

No the license should just stick to the license text; we can refer to publications (including the arxiv paper which is publicly available) in README/docs/wikis

rty10 commented 3 years ago

@nicocvn Understood. And I'm assuming this is the standard GPL-license language? Because after reviewing it I don't see any issues with this license text.
