Mindmeld is licensed under the GNU General Public License. See the
LICENSE file in the distribution for more information.

Although Mindmeld's core search technology, the self-organizing neural
mapper (or SONM) is patent pending, ars Cognita has chosen to make the
patent available to the Open Source community. The technology
contained in the Mindmeld source code may be used freely provided any
software, library, or other tool that incorporates it is licensed
under the GNU General Public License and ars Cognita is given
appropriate credit for the invention. (Treat the patent as if you were
extending any typical GPL application). Any other use is prohibited
without a specific signed license from ars Cognita.

The day ars whatever decides that they are losing too much revenue in
the free software version, they can enforce the patent and make
mindmeld illegal to use without a license.
