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.
