ghemical upstream is dead.
New versions of mopac are non-free; so same thing here.

mpqc hasn't had a stable release since 2006... although upstream seems
active on github.

Computational chemistry is by no means dead. There are big packages
available for real calculations, e.g. NWChem and PSI4 are available in
Fedora.
