Re: [eigen] Is Eigen/SparseCholesky license LGPL or MPL2?

[David Tellenbach <david.tellenbach@xxxxxx>]

Thanks Frederik and Sameer! All sparse solvers are now MPL2 and the license column has been removed on master.

I've just re-uploaded the updated docs: https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox-devel/group__TopicSparseSystems..html

Thank you.  I was going to offer to send a PR to update the documentation but it seems that was already done on “master” back in October, so all that is needed is to rerun the doxygen generator.

It is MPL. The documentation needs to be updated.

Basic license question:

According to the following page, it sounds like Eigen/SparseCholesky is MPL2 in version 3.1.1 and later:

https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/?source=post_page---------------------------#License

That’s also consistent with where EIGEN_MPL2_ONLY appears in the source tree.

On the other hand, this page (for version 3.4.0) seems to imply that the license is LGPL:

https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/group__TopicSparseSystems.html

Which one is correct?

Thank you,

Frederik
