Commercial software using Eigen

Wed May 29, 2013 9:55 am
Good morning all,

I am quite a newbie with licenses.

I read some stuff about open source licenses and start to realize how not simple it is.

I think i understood the principles of (L)GPL and BSD licenses.

Eigen license is MPL2 which is supposed to be in between.

My question for which i look for a clear answer is simple and is the following :

Am I allowed to "include" Eigen library (WITHOUT modifications) in my (C++) code and make a commercial software of it ?
Under which conditions ?

Thanks a lot,

Adrien.

As long as you only #include <...> Eigen's files and do not modify them then yes. If you modify Eigen's files, then the modification must remain under the MPL2. If your product is a developer library and you'd like ti include Eigen in your SDK, then you're allowed to do so, as long as the Eigen copy remains under the MPL2.
