It is debatable whether
PyMOL can be classified as
Open source, as according to the
Open Source Definition, it may not satisfy rules #1, #5 and #6 - see the
PyMOL license page here:
There are in fact two versions: The open source version and the precompiled builds. See
its page on sourceforge: "PyMOL is a Python-enhanced molecular graphics program. It excels at 3D visualization of proteins, small molecules, density, surfaces, and trajectories. It also includes molecular editing, ray tracing, and movies. Open Source PyMOL is free to everyone."
I agree the source is freely available, but
the license seems to be somewhat conflicting, as it seems in indicate that usage of the program (precompiled or not) requires the purchase of a subscription. Perhaps I'm reading this incorrectly...
No, the purchase of a subscription does not apply to the source code, only to the precompiled builds available on the website. --

Template on Commons to mark images made with Pymol
Needs to be updated to reflect a Schrödinger-era PyMOL
Unfortunately I don't think I'm qualified to do so, as I haven't even used any post 1.2r2 builds. Does anyone have current and/or concrete information about the direction Schrödinger is taking PyMOL that would be willing to help update this article.--

The second to last is the one that's missing a description. The caption jumps from "Goodsell-like" (third to last image) to "B-factor putty" (last image). I can't think off the top of my head what the second to last image is supposed to be, looks like a slightly glossier version of "Standard surface" to me. (+)H3N-

I still don't know the correct name for this rendering mode, so I've just called it "glossy surface" for now. Hopefully we can find a better name for it at some point, although it does look exactly like a glossier version of 'surface' to my eyes at least. (+)H3N-
