A word of caution — Meshlab is GPL software. While I would love to incorporate
them wholesale, their source code is not compatible with ours and should not be
directly examined (the end result is a derivative and must be GPL-licensed).
That said, studying how the tools themselves work and reading up on the methods
they use is fine. Just don’t look at their code if the goal is to implement
that capability in a non-GPL code like ours.

They are otherwise quite relevant. :)
