[CP2K:4471] CP2K - new version release - 2.4

[stephen.s... at googlemail.com]

Hi 
 
I work for High Performance Computing Wales and we need to request the 
developer's permission to use CP2K for 
a variety of uses such as assisting commercial companies on a 'no fee' 
basis (our organisation is grant funded), using the CP2K licence on a fee 
basis i.e. in the event we charge a company a commercial rate to use our 
machines and the licence.
 
Can anyone provide me with the a developer contact who is authorised to 
provide permission? 
 
Thanks
 
Stephen
