---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The CGAL software consists of several parts, each of which is licensed under
an open source license. It is also possible to obtain commercial licenses
from GeometryFactory (www.geometryfactory.com) for all or parts of CGAL.
The source code of the CGAL library can be found in the directories
"src/CGAL", "src/CGALQt" and "include/CGAL". It is specified in each file of
the CGAL library which license applies to it. This is either the GNU Lesser
General Public License (as published by the Free Software Foundation;
version 2.1 of the License) or the Q Public License (version 1.0). The texts
of both licenses can be found in the files LICENSE.LGPL and LICENSE.QPL.
Distributed along with CGAL (for the users' convenience), but not part of
CGAL, are the following third-party libraries, available under their own
licenses:
- CORE, in the directories "include/CORE" and "src/Core", is licensed under
the QPL (see LICENSE.QPL).
- OpenNL, in the directory "include/OpenNL", is licensed under the GPL with
additional exceptions (see LICENSE.OPENNL).
- ImageIO, in the directory "examples/Surface_mesher/ImageIO", is licensed
under the LGPL (see LICENSE.LGPL).
All other files that do not have an explicit copyright notice (e.g., all
examples and some demos) are licensed under a very permissive license. The
exact license text can be found in the file LICENSE.FREE_USE. Note that some
subdirectories have their own copy of LICENSE.FREE_USE. These copies have
the same license text and differ only in the copyright holder.
