Bug#251885: ITP: cgal -- C++ library for computational geometry
CGAL 3.2 is going to be released in a few days. I've been in contact
with the upstream developers to resolve the license issues.
1) Anything that goes into libCGAL.a and libCGALQt.a is licensed under
LGPL. There are no QPL'd files involved in the build of those libraries.
2) The examples as well as some demos and other files are available
under an MIT-like license (previously no license at all).
3) Third-party software contained in the CGAL tarball is clearly
identfied as such in the top-level LICENSE file (and Debian's copyright
file).
4) There is no license for the documentation (upstream could not agree
on a license yet). Therefore, the documentation has been removed from
the Debian tarball. Fortunately, the documentation is separately
available from www.cgal.org.
I plan to package the software and to look for a sponsor as soon as the
final tarballs are available.
