Comparing Vasp results with other codes - License

[jonathan_schmidt]

Dear VASP team,

I was wondering whether comparing vasp results with all-electron results (and publishing the results) falls under the benchmark restriction of the license, i.e. is only allowed with explicit consent of the VASP company. E.g. some results saying based on all-electron calculations one should really use this pseudo-potential version and not another one for a material. Or for these X types of systems one should generally be careful with available pseudo-potentials.

best,
Jonathan

We have deemed it best if you contact Georg Kresse directly about this subject matter. Please, write an email to georg.kresse@univie.ac.at. This makes it easier to discuss all the details.
