mrh is licensed under GNU General Public License v2.0. It is based on a fork of QC-DMET: a python implementation of density matrix embedding theory for ab initio quantum chemistry by Sebastian Wouters, which is also licensed under GPL v2.0 and is available at
as well as CAS-DMET by Hung Pham, which is available at
The DMET implementation is largely as described in
