=======

.. note::

    While all the code in pyfftw (except for fftw3.h) is released
    under the 3-clause BSD license (set out below), pyfftw requires FFTW3
    to function. FFTW3 is available under two licenses, the free GPL and
    a non-free license that allows it to be used in proprietary programs.

    **If you intend to use the GPLed FFTW3 library, your code must also be
    GPL licensed.** If you do not wish to comply with the terms of the GPL,
    you have to buy a FFTW3 license from the copyright holder MIT, `see here
    for more information <http://www.fftw.org/doc/License-and-Copyright.html>`_.

fftw3.h is released under the 2-clause BSD license.
