============================================

GROMACS is free software, distributed under the GNU Lesser General
Public License (LGPL) Version 2.1. See section 1 for details. GROMACS
includes optional code covered by several different licences as
described below.  The GROMACS package in its entirety may be copied,
modified or distributed according to the conditions described in
section 1.  However, in the interests of clarity and completeness,
some individual parts of GROMACS that can be used under their
respective licenses are also noted here.

This file contains the licenses for the following bodies of code:
1. GROMACS
2. Trajectory file reading using VMD plugins
3. Internal FFT (fftpack)
4. The memtestG80 library
5. thread_mpi
6. Blas
7. Lapack
8. Subset of Boost C++ library
9. Google Test and Google Mock
10. Sun XDR implementation (External Data Representation)
11. Sun FDLIBM (Freely Distributable Maths Library)
12. Random123
13. md5

Our chosen method for packaging distributions (CPack) only permits a
package to have a single license file, so we are unfortunately forced
to combine all of this information into a single license file. Sorry
about that.

============================================

1. GROMACS
==========

As our use of the LGPL conveys upon a licensee the option to
redistribute the library under the terms of the plain GPL, we must
include a copy of that GPL for their reference.

On Debian systems, the full text of the LGPL v2.1 can be found in
'/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2.1', and the full text of the GPL
v2 can be found in '/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'.

If you want to redistribute modifications, please consider that
scientific software is very special. Version control is crucial -
bugs must be traceable. We will be happy to consider code for
inclusion in the official distribution, but derived work should not
be called official thread_mpi.

6. Blas
=======

These files are semi-automatic translations by f2c from the original netlib BLAS library.
The source has been modified to (mostly) use modern C formatting, and to get rid of
compiler warnings. Any errors in doing this should be blamed on the Gromacs developers, and
not the reference BLAS implementation.

The reference BLAS implementation is available from http://www.netlib.org/blas

BLAS does not come with a formal named "license", but a general statement that

"The reference BLAS is a freely-available software package. It is available from netlib
via anonymous ftp and the World Wide Web. Thus, it can be included in commercial software
packages (and has been). We only ask that proper credit be given to the authors."

While the rest of Gromacs is LGPL, we think it's only fair to give you the same rights to
our modified BLAS files as the original netlib versions, so do what you want with them.
However, be warned that we have only tested that they to the right thing in the cases used
in Gromacs (primarily full & sparse matrix diagonalization), so in most cases it is a much
better idea to use the full reference implementation.

7. Lapack
=========

These files are semi-automatic translations by f2c from the original netlib LAPACK library.
The source has been modified to (mostly) use modern C formatting, and to get rid of
compiler warnings. Any errors in doing this should be blamed on the Gromacs developers, and
not the reference LAPACK implementation.

The reference LAPACK implementation is available from http://www.netlib.org/lapack

LAPACK does not come with a formal named "license", but a general statement saying:

"The reference LAPACK is a freely-available software package. It is available from netlib
via anonymous ftp and the World Wide Web. Thus, it can be included in commercial software
packages (and has been). We only ask that proper credit be given to the authors."

While the rest of Gromacs is LGPL, we think it's only fair to give you the same rights to
our modified LAPACK files as the original netlib versions, so do what you want with them.

However, be warned that we have only tested that they to the right thing in the cases used
in Gromacs (primarily full & sparse matrix diagonalization), so in most cases it is a much
better idea to use the full reference implementation.
