IMPORTANT: The following represents the intent of the SWIG developers regarding how SWIG is licensed to the public. This is not legal advice; if you have specific questions about how SWIG's license applies to your use, please seek legal counsel.

The intention of the SWIG license is to ensure the SWIG source code (the code that is compiled into the SWIG executable) remains as free software by using the GPL license on the SWIG source code. SWIG also generates code and the intention of the SWIG license is also to enable distribution of the generated code under license terms of the user's choice/requirements. Users are responsible for ensuring that they meet any license requirements for all code fed into SWIG that is subsequently used in the generated output. Note that portions of the SWIG library are used in the generated code and this library code distributed with SWIG is licensed under a very permissive license that allows further distribution without any obligations.

As SWIG is a code generator, the license separation of the SWIG source and the generated code is important and should be clearly noted. The full license is available in the following files:

• LICENSE
• LICENSE-GPL
• LICENSE-UNIVERSITIES
• COPYRIGHT
