Overview of SCEC Open-Source Software Licenses
SCEC scientific software is open-source in order to provide transparency into the scientific calculations performed by the code. Based on NSF funding requirements that we use an OSI approved open-source license, and the recommendations from USC Stevens Institute, we are standardizing our software licenses on BSD-3.
BSD-3 License Text for SCEC Software
USC Stevens reviewed and approved this version of the BSD-3 license for use with SCEC open-source software.
