Thanks again. I've filed a bug-report, at http://code.opencv.org/issues/3498

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.

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.
