This Product includes crypto++ software under below license

License

The License of Crypto++ is somewhat unusual amongst open source projects. A distinction is made

between the library as a compilation (i.e., collection), which is copyrighted by Wei Dai, and the

individual files in it, which are public domain (with the exception of mars.cpp which is subject to its

own license, included in that file).

The library is copyrighted as a compilation in order to place certain disclaimers (regarding warranty,

export, and patents) in the license and to keep the attributions and public domain declarations

intact when Crypto++ is distributed in source code form. The fact that individual files are public

domain means that legally you can place code segments, entire files, or small sets of files (up to

the limit set by fair use) into your own project and do anything you want with them without

worrying about the copyright.

Because one purpose of the project is to act as a repository of public domain (not copyrighted)

cryptographic source code, the code in Crypto++ was either written specifically for this project by

its contributors and placed in the public domain, or derived from other sources that are public

domain (again with the exception of mars.cpp).

This copyright applies only to this software distribution package

as a compilation, and does not imply a copyright on any particular

file in the package.

The following files are copyrighted by their respective original authors,

and their use is subject to additional licenses included in these files.

All other files in this compilation are placed in the public domain by

Wei Dai and other contributors.
