Re: Babel authors and/or OpenBabel

[Geoff Hutchison <hutchisn |-at-| chem.nwu.edu>]

 Hello all,
 I'm wondering if anyone knows how to contact the authors of the program
 'babel'--Patrick Walters and Matthew T. Stahl. The addresses in the
 README file no longer work. The latest version I can find is v.1.6 from
 1996 and I'd like very much to improve some aspects of the code (and add
 some additional translators). However, the copyright says "All Rights
 Reserved" which worries me to some degree.
 My hope is that either the code can be brought back under the GPL or LGPL
 license (or similar) or a new "OpenBabel" project can be started for
 similar purpose.
 Thanks very much for any help you can provide,
 -Geoff Hutchison
