The current release model is to release Amber every 2 years and AmberTools
every year. As of 2012 and Amber 12, the version number will reflect the
year it was released.
So 2012 saw the release of Amber 12 and AmberTools 12.
2013 saw the release of AmberTools 13
2014 will see the release of AmberTools 14 and Amber 14.
2015 will see the release of AmberTools 15
and so on. As in the past, AmberTools is GPL or LGPL, but Amber will still
be a non-free license (the same one Amber 12 uses, to my knowledge).
Amber releases always occur concurrently with AmberTools releases (but not
the other way around, obviously). I hope this clarifies things.
All the best,
Jason
