Re: [cclib-users] orbital occupation numbers

[Karol M. L. <kar...@gm...>]

Axel,

Thanks for the files. Can I use them in our publicly available test suite? In other
words, do you release these files into the Public Domain? Also, if you have the Molpro
file with the long list of coefficients, that would be helpful, too.

We are about to release cclib v1.3, and this certainly won't make it there. But I have
already written some code which will go into the dev version:
https://github.com/cclib/cclib/pull/148

Thanks,
Karol
