Hi All, There has been a lot of discussion about this on the list. IUP, CD and IM have secondary libraries that use third party libraries.
The secondary libraries follow their third party libraries license terms as described by the documentation in their respective pages. And this does NOT affect applications that don't use those secondary libraries, because they are in separate libraries, of course. Also applications that use only the IUP main library are NOT dependent on CD nor IM. The fact that we left every party in separate libraries comply with the license restrictions, and allow us to provide solutions for both commercial and free applications. All libraries are packed together to facilitate the distribution. Not considering Lua, IUP for instance has 15 secondary libraries. It is not viable to distribute them in separate packages. So I would like to clarify which third party libraries are not compatible with the MIT license used by IUP, CD and IM. Only the following libraries are not compatible: *iuptuio *+ TUIO (GPL) *cdpdf *+ PDFLib (not free for commercial applications) *im_fftw *+ FFTW (GPL) *im_lzo *+ miniLZO (GPL) Luckily we seem to have less restrictive alternatives for PDFLib and FFTW, probably they will be available in the near future in CD and IM. *iuptuio *and *im_lzo *have low relevance and can be ignored. *cdpdf *can be replaced today by *cdcairo *which has a Cairo PDF driver. No other libraries are affected by these libraries. They are completely independent. The text in: http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/en/copyright.html Was updated to list only these libraries. Best, Scuri
