Dear Sir/Ma'am, I am a PhD scholar at the Institute of Advanced Research, India. I have been using the free version of Chimera for the last few days. I wanted to ask if I could publish the images created in Chimera using that free version by citing it appropriately using the citation provided on the website or do I need to buy the license to publish? Would you please guide me for the same.
