* BSD license
                  Here is a listing of what is included inside
                  Utilities/vxl/v3p/netlib


    blas:        From www.netlib.org/blas :
   
    FAQ: 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.

* BSD-Like license.

          Our understanding is that the US Government cannot hold
          copyrights, therefore we assume that this code is in the
          public domain.

== NIFTI ==


    lapack:
* No copyright ?
* There is no mention of licensing nor copyright at the NIFTI Web site:
** http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov/nifti-1
** However at http://niftilib.sourceforge.net it appears as "public domain" license, but in its subdirectory matlibs it has a GPL license.

                  Their copyright/license was incompatible with

                  ITK and their functionality was not needed.
                  These removed the "itknetlib" library.


== kwsys ==


== itk_hash_map ==
* Copyright: Kitware
* BSD-Like License


  It has copyrights by SGI and HP, but the license
                  is consistent with BSD-like. So we simply need
                  to acknowledge those in our general copyright.

                Stephen Aylward removed the specific functions
                in this file that were copyrighted by IMSL and
                replaced them with other functions available in
                netlib. The file is now cleared from copyright
                concerns.

=== AnalyzeDB.h ===
                "Freely distributable"
                I guess that counts as BSD...
                Easy to remove if it becomes a problem,
                This is just a script for making easier
                the CVS syncs of VXL.
