'''Objective:''' To develop and establish policies for, and examples of, acceptable software licenses to insure that users of the NA-MIC kit are free to distribute their derived works under any license suitable to their needs and consistent with the goals of the National Centers of Biomedical Computing.

'''Progress:''' After extensive discussion and review, NA-MIC developed a licensing policy for the components of the NA-MIC Software Kit. This policy assures developers who create derived works based on the NA-MIC Kit that they will have the flexibility to select the appropriate software license for that work. For example, this policy would permit academic users to distribute binary-only versions of software in advance of publication, or commercial users to incorporate parts of the NA-MIC Kit into their products.

'''Key Investigators:'''

* Steve Pieper (Isomics)
* Luis Ibanez, Will Schroeder (Kitware)
* Bill Lorensen, Jim Miller (GE)
* Ron Kikinis, Gordon Kindlmann (Brigham)
