Free (in terms of beer).  VMD has its own license, restricting what can be done with the source code.  See $VMD_ROOT/lib/vmd/LICENSE for more details.  In particular, VMD must be referenced when appropriate in publications.

Admin notes
-----------

I downloaded the pre-compiled Linux_64 version and edited the configure script to set $install_bin_dir and $install_library_dir to appropriate locations on the NFS server.  I then installed VMD using:

.. code-block:: bash

    ./configure && cd src && make install

(Compiling from source is not for the faint-hearted!)
