[Legal] Use of opencv Library for Commercial use

Dear Opencv users,

I've developed a solution using opencv and pycharm to monitor, control, assure quality on a production line for a company I'm working for. My manager is happy with the idea, however it comes down to legalities of "licensing"my solution with my employer.

This is an industrial type solution with good accuracy and fast processing time of around 15,000-25,000 products per hour using off the shelf camera, free Linux OS and I will be buying commercial PyCharm license for this project once the budget is approved.

I would like to know what legal laws are required to adhere to (in UK/EU) regarding such solution, both for safety of my current employer, myself and furthermore my own research for a company start up with the use the library in the near future?

Thanks. Tom
