Dear UCSF Chimera Team, I am a student participating in the *Biology Olympiad* and would like to ask if I am allowed to use *UCSF Chimera* for this competition. Could you please confirm if this is permitted and if there are any specific licensing requirements? Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Oliwier, That would be an educational, noncommercial use, so go ahead, and good luck! When you click to download Chimera (or ChimeraX, maybe you would like to use that newer program instead) there will be a noncommercial license agreement shown in the browser window, and you just click "Accept" at the bottom of the page to continue downloading it. That's it for noncommercial use, you don't need to contact us or do anything else. If you have to describe your methods or publish your results, you can cite the program, but I don't know if that's relevant in your case. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
