Manuel Gonzalez Castro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: Multi-Body Systems Library System name: mbslib Type: non-GNU Description: Multi-Body Systems (MBS) simulation is a technique that can be used to develop and analyse almost any mechanical system: engineers use it in the automotive, railway, aerospace and other industries to produce better products. In recent years MBS technology evolved in powerful computer analysis software like ADAMS (http://www.adams.com) or Simpack (http://www.simpack.de). But MBS comercial codes are quite expensive, therefore education centers and small enterprises can't afford them. The purpose of this project is to develop a free, high-quality MBS simulation suite. A free tool like this will benefit small enterprises, research groups, education centers and engineering students. Initially, the main developer will be the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of University of La Coruņa (Spain). We are a research group with a solid backgroud in the MBS field, more information can be obtained in our web site (http://lim.ii.udc.es). We will invite other universities to join this project. There is no source code yet, since the software is under design stage. Other Software Required: Name URL License --------------------------------------------------------- libxml2 http://www.xmlsoft.org MIT License ATLAS http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net modified BSD Other Comments: This project was rejected 2 days ago due to a dependency on the GPL-incompatible Boost Library (www.boost.org). We were thinking about using Boost to provide a smart pointer classes. Since this causes license problems, we will code and use our own smart pointer class to avoid Boost dependency. _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
