See the COPYING, COPYRIGHT, and README files in the subdirectories for the original copyright and licensing information of these packages. . The compiled NLopt library, i.e. the combined work of all of the included optimization routines, is licensed under the conjunction of all of these licensing terms. Currently, the most restrictive terms are for the code in the "luksan" directory, which is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL), version 2.1 or later (see luksan/COPYRIGHT). . That means that the compiled NLopt library is governed by the terms of the LGPL. Other portions of NLopt, including any modifications to the abovementioned packages, are licensed under the standard "MIT License". Files: bobyqa/* Copyright: 2009 M. J. D.

To be open source it needs some specific open-source license to specify the permissions in legal terms. The simplest open-source license is probably the MIT license, is this okay? . http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php . Also, I need to know who the authors are for the copyright statement. Should I list it as: Copyright (c) 1998 by S. Zertchaninov and K. Madsen ? . Thanks again! I will definitely cite it if I publish any results based on StoGO! (It's one of the few public global-optimization programs that is able to exploit gradient information.) . Regards, Steven G.
