I think a blanket LGPL statement here is an issue. This should be copyright of the respective authors (or their institutions or PI, depending on how their university licenses it) and then provided free for use within the context of the AmberSoftware package - essentially a free version of the regular Amber License.

But that doesn't fix it. That makes it LGPL as stated by amber14/AmberTools/LICENSE and this is the problem and what I object to. I am happy for code that I help develop that is part of AMBER to be free to use and source available (within the context of Amber) - however, I object to giving others permission to use that work without suitable compensation.
All the best
