'Intel License Agreement' intentional?
Having downloaded OpenCV for Linux, I have found mention of the 'Intel License Agreement' in many of the source files. Is this intended?
The OpenCV home page describes OpenCV as being released under a BSD license. Assuming this to be true, there is surely no need to make mention of a non-standard license such as the 'Intel License Agreement'.
If I run this from the main OpenCV directory, I find countless results:
find . -type f -exec grep -l "Intel License Agreement" {} \;
but some files, such as modules/superres/src/frame_source.cpp , make no mention of the Intel License Agreement.
If this is not intended, I shall file a bug-report.
Actually I have been asked to place it into all my new files I have submitted ... But basically the header states that the functions are created by Intel funding but the complete library has a BSD license which means you can use it for commercial stuff.
Thanks for your response.
This situation strikes me as needlessly confusing.
As far as I can tell, this 'Intel License Agreement' doesn't actually exist - OpenCV is simply released under the BSD license.
I'm not working for a company with nervous lawyers, but if I were, I'm sure this kind of thing (hinting at non-standard licenses) wouldn't help matters regarding adopting OpenCV.
I do agree to that. Might not be a bad idea to file a bug report. Than it can be cleared out what there should be exactly.
Thanks again. I've filed a bug-report, at http://code.opencv.org/issues/3498
