3RD PARTY LIBRARY LICENSING
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3rd party libraries have their own licenses. In general we attempt to only
include libraries that are compatible with open source projects and 
commercial products. However, SOME libraries have RESTRICTED licensing.

These notes are for convienance and may NOT be acurate. You are responsible
to verify the licensing terms of each library.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assimp - BSD (3-clause)
cURL - MIT/X derivate license
freeglut - MIT/X Consortium license
FreeImage - dual license, GPL or Freeimage Public License (for commercial)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- RESTRICTED -

MySQL - dual license, GPL or Proprietary for commercial products
zSpace - proprietary
BMD - proprietary
AJA - proprietary
nVidia - proprietary

- zSpace -
Permission was granted to distribute code that calls the zSpace library,
but you will need to download and install the SDK separately.
 http://zspace.com

- MySQL -
MySQL allows for open source projects to distribute under the GPL, but other
commercial projects require an agreement with Oracle. Alternately you could 
replace MySQL client with the MariaDB client which is LGPL.

- BMD -
Blackmagic Designs sample code is open source friendly, SDK needs to be 
downloaded from them.

- AJA -
AJA SDK requires signing an NDA and has export restrictions. However, in
discussions it was indicated that we can distribute our code calling upon
there SDK as we are not using the portions of the SDK that are under export
restrictions.  We have not formalized this, but plan to do so.

- nVidia -
CUDA SDK needs to be downloaded from nVidia.
