Licensing:

Emgu CV use a Dual License business model for its software development library and offers licenses for two distinct purposes - open source and commercial development

A Quick Overview

• If you wish to use the open source license of an EMGU product, you must contribute all your source code to the open source community and you must give them the right to share it with everyone too.

• If you derive a commercial advantage by having a closed source solution, you must purchase an appropriate number of commercial licenses from EMGU. By purchasing commercial licenses, you are no longer obligated to publish your source code.

Open Source License

EMGU is an avid supporter of open source software. This is the appropriate option if you are creating an open source application with a license compatible with the GNU GPL license v3.

Commercial License

This is the appropriate option if you are creating proprietary applications and you are not prepared to distribute and share the source code of your application under the GPL.
