Sir/Madam,
I am a post graduate student who is working on a research article which involves molecular docking and analysis. I am using the free software of UCSF Chimera (version 1.16) for obtaining results and analysing them. I am wondering whether using these results and images that I acquired from Chimera in my research study, will subject me to Copyright Issues.
Kindly address my doubt as soon as possible.
