I agree with Sebastian, what is so "ope= n" about closing open source into a manifesto? I was=A0 even more surp= rised that Google put their signature on that manifesto, a company who endo= rses free openness in information flow.

Note that this is not specifying open source code, so GAMESS(US),
GA= MESS(UK), DALTON etc., as well as open source codes such as PSI3 amd
MPQ= C satisfies the points of the manifesto. Of course some other quantum
chemistry codes do not. I think we should be putting pressure on the
aut= hors of such codes to meet the criteria in this manifesto.
