[IGSTK-Users] IGSTK 5.0

[Özgür Güler]

Hi Ernesto,

the ARToolKit's license model is GPL, whereas IGSTK is under BSD. Due to
licensing issues IGSTK can not incorporate GPL source code.
Nevertheless we would appeciate if we could give a reference from the IGSTK
website to your ARToolkit Tracking software on e.g. Github.

The latest release of IGSTK 5.0 includes a webcam based tracking system
using ArUco toolkit. Since the ArUco toolkit is integrated into
IGSTK, no additional toolkit is needed to use the webcam based tracking
system.

Kind regards,
Özgür
