Thanks Andrius for the pointer. By the way, I've looked at the INCHI licenes again, and clause 3 allows to use the INCHI code under the GPL, was it considered to just go that route in Debian or is there some other loophole I don't see? Maybe RDKit could be changed in some way to build against both INCHI versions, but if that is possible at all, it sounds like a major project. Francois, what might help here is opening an issue with RDKit's GitHub issue tracker and asking them about supporting both versions. Michael
