Quaternion Toolbox Documentation

The authors of the toolbox, Stephen J. Sangwine and Nicolas Le Bihan, retain copyright in the software and the documentation but grant rights to others under the terms of the licences listed below.

The toolbox is specifically designed to work with Matlab®, which is a proprietary closed-source software system. This means that, to use the Quaternion Toolbox as its designers intended, you must execute the code of the toolbox in conjunction with proprietary Matlab® code (known as ‘linking’). The authors of the toolbox explicitly grant permission for you to do this (for an FAQ on this topic, see the link given below). Of course, since the toolbox is licensed under the GNU GPL, you are free to do other things permitted by that license, for example, running the code under GNU Octave which is itself licensed under the GNU GPL.

Licenses

The source code of the Quaternion Toolbox is licensed under the

Copies of both licenses are distributed with the toolbox (in files called gpl.txt and fdl.txt). They are referenced by the above links, but may also be accessed at the GNU website (see below).
