Note that restrictions imposed by these patents (and possibly others)
|
||
|
exist independently of and may be in conflict with the freedoms granted
|
||
|
in OpenCV license, which refers to copyright of the program, not patents
|
||
|
for any methods that it implements. Both copyright and patent law must
|
||
|
be obeyed to legally use and redistribute this program and it is not the
|
||
|
purpose of this license to induce you to infringe any patents or other
|
||
|
property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims. If you
|
||
|
redistribute or use the program, then this license merely protects you
|
||
|
from committing copyright infringement. It does not protect you from
|
||
|
committing patent infringement. So, before you do anything with this
|
||
|
program, make sure that you have permission to do so not merely in terms
|
||
|
of copyright, but also in terms of patent law.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please note that this license is not to be understood as a guarantee
|
||
|
either. If you use the program according to this license, but in
|
||
|
conflict with patent law, it does not mean that the licensor will refund
|
||
|
you for any losses that you incur if you are sued for your patent
|
||
|
infringement.
