<br>
Thanks for asking and checking the files.<br>
<br>
All of CTK is suppose to be under the Apache 2.0 license. If you<br>
find files with any other licence, please let us know. We will fix<br>
them immediately.<br>
<br>
Regarding the holder of the copyright - I believe we decided that<br>
there would be no single copyright holder for CTK. The files are held<br>
by the individual contributors and/or their institutions. This is<br>
not how I would prefer things, because it creates an impression of<br>
complex ownership (whereas the Apache license assures the code will<br>
always be free for commercial and non-commercial use, and without<br>
patent restrictions to the best of our knowledge).<br>
<br>
The CTK members should probably re-address copyright assignments. I<br>
suggest we have the assignment go to the Insight Software Consortium<br>
(ISC) or some other independent entity. Hans Johnson at U of Iowa is<br>
the current president of the ISC, and he could ask the ISC board to<br>
accept CTK as an ISC-sponsored toolkit. More info on the ISC is at:<br>
