This is not an official response.  So we can ask, but I'm sure the answer will be no, it is not acceptable to change our license.  We are also a university with the same sovereign immunity.  And keep in mind, involving our university's lawyers means that you might not get an answer for many months.  So I hope you're not in a hurry.  And our lawyers choose the wording in our license.  Do you still wish to pursue this folly?

Hello UCSF Chimera creators,

 

Our Chemistry department of Missouri University of Science and Technology would like to use your software.  Our attorney reviewed the non-commercial software license agreement, and is requesting the legal jurisdiction be struck from the license agreement as well as other modifications.  Due to the University being an instrumentality of the state of Missouri and having sovereign immunity under Missouri and federal law, we are not authorized to waive our legal jurisdiction (See Fowler v. Board of Regents, 637 S.W.2d 352 (Mo.App. 1982)).  Would you please review the attached requested license agreement modifications, and initial if acceptable?

 

Thank you!

Lua
