CAABA/MECCA
License
If you want to use the CAABA/MECCA chemistry model, we ask that you
contact us first
at rolf.sander@mpic.de and let
us know what your research plans are. You are welcome to use CAABA/MECCA
under the terms described here. Since we want CAABA/MECCA to be useful
for the whole scientific community, we decided to make the source code
available under the GNU
General Public License (GPL). Basically, the GPL allows you to use
CAABA/MECCA at no charge. However, the GPL was not written with
scientific programs in mind. Therefore, when you are going to publish
results based on CAABA/MECCA in a scientific journal, we ask you to also
obey these points:
- Please discuss a potential co-authorship with us. Usually, we
request co-authorship only, if model results obtained with CAABA/MECCA
are the main topic of your manuscript and not, if they are just a minor
aspect of it.
- Please cite the following publication:

- Please send a reprint of your paper
to rolf.sander@mpic.de. We'd
also appreciate receiving a preprint before you submit your manuscript.
- If you have written additional code which is based on CAABA/MECCA,
you should also make it available to the scientific community using this
license. Please email us a copy of your new code. This will help us to
coordinate developments of different research groups.
