Did you know...
PyMOL is open source software that is supported by its users! You can download and install it for free. If you are a paid subscriber you get all the new features in a simple installable program, and support from DeLano Scientific. If you aren't a paid subscriber you can download the source code for free, build the software and still access the newest features -- for free! Your other option as a free-users is to download the older binaries, which run 6-12 months behind the releases with the newest features.

If you like it, use it or publish with it -- support it!
