To see wide adoption and combined future development would be
truly great. In order to encourage as wide an adoption of LSP as possible,
we will make the LSP4All port based solely on FLOSS tools. That means
moving away from the Oracle database and the Symyx/Accelrys chemical
structure tools as we think these licence costs would deter many groups
from using LSP4All. The move to LSP4All, or its initiation, has already
started as we decided that porting LSP to LSP4All would be a great
opportunity to create the scaled-down version of LSP needed to deliver to
the OpenPhacts project, while at the same time re-building LSP using the
new versions of our technologies in the preferred way for our internal use
and also start an open source project. This was basically the window of
opportunity we were looking for to start the LSP upgrade project.
Later, when suffi cient LSP functionality has been moved, we expect
LSP4All to be the version that will run here at Lundbeck. It follows our
chosen design principles and it will save us some extra licence costs as it
will be based fully on open source tools. The database currently in use for
