Most of the IDL code is written by Erin Sheldon Dave Johnston Tim Mckay Ryan Scranton With contributions from others as well as direct copies of programs from people who aren't even aware. In the latter case the documentation has been left intact in order to preserve authorship. All code written by the above authors is licenced under the Gnu General Public License (see gpl.txt). Other codes are licenced in one of the following ways: 1) According to the license listed in the source code 2) When no license is shown in the source code the code was assumed to be in the public domain. If you see code for which this is not the case, let us know. The following C/C++ routines were partly or wholly authored by someone else and linked by Erin Sheldon through an interface. If you see licensing conflicts let us know. atlas: Stand alone atlas reader: Robert Lupton License: public domain.
