[DFTB-Plus-User] Halogen bonding correction on DFTB+

You are right, that correction is not contained within the open source
version of the code. It is apparently a special version of the code with
the old license, which the authors of the paper customised to their needs.

I've now contacted them and asked, whether they could make their
halogen-bond correction public by adding it to the official (open
source) version of the DFTB+.

  Best regards,
