11 NLopt combines several free/open-source nonlinear optimization
12 libraries by various authors. See the COPYING, COPYRIGHT, and README
13 files in the subdirectories for the original copyright and licensing

16 The compiled NLopt library, i.e. the combined work of all of the
17 included optimization routines, is licensed under the conjunction of
18 all of these licensing terms. Currently, the most restrictive terms
19 are for the code in the "luksan" directory, which is licensed under
20 the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL), version 2.1 or
21 later (see luksan/COPYRIGHT).

121 The MIT licence is ok with me, and so is your copyright suggestion.

142 Thanks so much for your response!
144 To be open source it needs some specific open-source license to specify
145 the permissions in legal terms. The simplest open-source license is
146 probably the MIT license, is this okay?

150 Also, I need to know who the authors are for the copyright statement.

154 Thanks again! I will definitely cite it if I publish any results based
155 on StoGO! (It's one of the few public global-optimization programs that
156 is able to exploit gradient information.)
