LAMMPS open-source license :h3
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS is a freely-available open-source code, distributed under the
|
|
terms of the "GNU Public License"_gnu, which means you can use or
|
|
modify the code however you wish.
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS comes with no warranty of any kind. As each source file states
|
|
in its header, it is a copyrighted code that is distributed free-of-
|
|
charge, under the terms of the "GNU Public License"_gnu (GPL). This
|
|
is often referred to as open-source distribution - see
|
|
"www.gnu.org"_gnuorg or "www.opensource.org"_opensource. The legal
|
|
text of the GPL is in the LICENSE file included in the LAMMPS
|
|
distribution.

Here is a summary of what the GPL means for LAMMPS users:
|
|
|
|
(1) Anyone is free to use, modify, or extend LAMMPS in any way they
|
|
choose, including for commercial purposes.
|
|
|
|
(2) If you distribute a modified version of LAMMPS, it must remain
|
|
open-source, meaning you distribute it under the terms of the GPL.
|
|
You should clearly annotate such a code as a derivative version of
|
|
LAMMPS.
|
|
|
|
(3) If you release any code that includes LAMMPS source code, then it
|
|
must also be open-sourced, meaning you distribute it under the terms
|
|
of the GPL.
|
|
|
|
(4) If you give LAMMPS files to someone else, the GPL LICENSE file and
|
|
source file headers (including the copyright and GPL notices) should
|
|
remain part of the code.
