The products of docking.org are open in the limited "free as in beer" sense. That is, ZINC, DUD and HEI may be downloaded freely by anyone for their own use. DOCK Blaster and SEA may be used without charge by any organization. This wiki may be freely edited.

We attempt to use open standards whenever possible, but we will use whatever it takes to get the job done.

  • Academics may have the source code for free.
  • For profit organizations normally pay a fee.
  • Any useful modifications must be returned to UCSF.
