    The NLopt library is under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), 
    and the copyrights are owned by a variety of authors.

    In general, the different code in NLopt comes from different sources, 
    and have a variety of licenses. For example, all of the new code we 
    wrote for NLopt is under the MIT License (which imposes essentially 
    no practical restrictions, and is hence compatible with the LGPL). 
    The combination of all of this software is under the conjunction of 
    the license terms, and in particular they are limited by the most 
    restrictive of the licenses for the portions, which in this case 
    is the LGPL. (The other portions of NLopt are under LGPL-compatible, 
    less-restrictive licenses like the MIT license. So, if you remove 
    the LGPL portions, which are currently code by Ladislav Luksan, 
    the remainder reverts to a looser license.)

    New code written by me for NLopt is

    The StoGO source code on the authors' web site has no copyright or
    license information, but I (Steven G. Johnson) contacted the author
    K. Madsen for clarification and he gave me permission to distribute
    it under the MIT license above.  See the correspondence below:

    The MIT licence is ok with me, and so is your copyright suggestion.

    Thanks so much for your response!

    To be open source it needs some specific open-source license to specify
    the permissions in legal terms.  The simplest open-source license is
    probably the MIT license, is this okay?

            http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php

    Also, I need to know who the authors are for the copyright statement. 
    Should I list it as:
            Copyright (c) 1998 by S. Zertchaninov and K. Madsen ?

    Thanks again!  I will definitely cite it if I publish any results based
    on StoGO!  (It's one of the few public global-optimization programs that
    is able to exploit gradient information.)

    Regards,
    Steven G. Johnson
