"Each of IM, CD or IUP libraries that use third party libraries that have a
license term different than IUP, has a separate page in the documentation"
Where in the documentation? I can easily find the IUP license in the
documentation, but not any third party licenses. All the licenses should be in
one place.

you use those libraries you should check their documentation. In their
documentation there should be a note about the license terms, and usually a
link to the term itself. The IM, CD and IUP source code package also include
those license terms.

I can't seem to find it so can you give a link to the online IUP documentation
where it lists all the third party functions and their licenses?

Ola,
"When using LGPL you can if the library is in an external module, for instance
in a DLL. And you must include its license text in the distribution"
Does PUC-RIO have a copy of all the licenses required for their independently
licensed features in the distribution or IUP/IM/CD website, or do we have to
research that on our own?

Hi,
1. Are there other IUP dependencies that require this library?
No, all these libraries are independent features. You can simply ignore
them. You must link with the specific library to use it, and then be dependent
of its license requirements.
2. There is no way this code can be used with a commercial app, correct?
When using LGPL you can if the library is in an external module, for
instance in a DLL. And you must include its license text in the distribution.
3. Any advice for removing this library and code cleanly?
As I said, you can simply ignore them by not using the features they provide
for IM, CD and IUP. In these cases you must explicitly use something not in
the regular IM, CD or IUP libraries. If you are linking with just the main
IUP, CD and IM libraries you don't have to worry about these libraries.

We are using the IUP framework to create a commercial application. The
decision to use this framework rested upon the statement; "IUP is free
software, can be used for public and commercial applications". Unfortunately,
our license compliance team has flagged some issues within IUP. It would
appear that the claim "free" for "commercial applications" may not be entirely
accurate. We are fortunate that we are currently not using these libraries,
however, we could use some advice/suggestions on the best ways to eliminate
this code.
The licenses that are incompatible with out application include:
- GPLv2 code which should not be linked with proprietary code
- LGPLv3 code can be linked dynamically with proprietary code. It should be
possible for the user to change the LGPLv3 library.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

The specific files/library at issue are:
1- /thirdparty/im/src/fftw
IMPORTANT: The FFTW lib has a GPL license. The license of the "im_fftw"
library is automatically GPL.
So you cannot use it for commercial applications without contacting the
authors.
PROBLEM: This makes this library unusable for our commercial
application.
RESOLUTION: Luckily we are not using this code.
QUESTIONS: 1. Are there other IUP dependencies that require this library?
2. There is no way this code can be used with a commercial
app, correct?
3. Any advice for removing this library and code cleanly?
2- /thirdparty/im/src/minilzo
"LZO compression support uses mini-libLZO version 2.07. \n
http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/ \n
Copyright (C) 1996-2014 Markus Franz Xaver Johannes Oberhumer \n
But its License is GPL, so we kept it in a separate library
called "im_lzo" that is also GPL."
PROBLEM: This makes this library unusable for our commercial
application.
RESOLUTION: Luckily we are not using this code.
QUESTIONS: 1. Are there other IUP dependencies that require this library?
2. There is no way this code can be used with a commercial
app, correct?
3. Any advice for removing this library and code cleanly?
3- thirdparty/iup/srcmglplot
"<p>MathGL is a library for creating plots that is system independent. It
is
maintained by Alexey Balakin and available at SourceForge
<a
href="http://mathgl.sourceforge.net/";>http://mathgl.sourceforge.net/</a> with
GPL and
LGPL licenses.</p>"
PROBLEM: This is licensed with GPL and LGPL licenses. MATGL appears to
mainly be LGPLv3; however, iup/srcmglplot/mgl2/mgl.h is GPLv2 which prevents
use in commercial apps.
RESOLUTION: Luckily we are not using this code.
QUESTIONS: 1. Are there other IUP dependencies that require this library?
2. There is no way this code can be used with a commercial
