#194: Clarify Slicot licensing terms ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: george Type: bug | Status: new Priority: critical | Milestone: Component: Estimation DLL | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Currently Dynare (unstable) distributes its own copy of libslicot (www.slicot.org). It is used in the Kalman Steady State DLL (at least).
As of July 15, 2011, it is no longer possible to download libslicot from its website. It says that the library is currently undergoing a relicensing.
We need to clarify this with Slicot authors to see if we can continue distributing it with Dynare.

Comment:
Future releases of Slicot will be non-free.
But we can continue using the 5.0 release under the GPL.
