The license of the CCLib library (containing the core algorithms) is LGPL version 2.0.

Therefore CCLib can be integrated in any commercial or non-commercial project. You just have to share any modification of the code with the authors (us).

The license of the other components is GPL (version 2.0):

  • qCC_db (database library)
  • qCC_io (file I/O library)
  • qCC_gl (OpenGL based 3D display library)
  • CloudCompare and ccViewer (standalone applications)

Therefore only GPL-compatible (which means open-source but doesn't necessarily means free) projects can use those components.
