Licence info for third-party libs (e.g. Intel TBB)

Hi,

Is there anywhere we can see the licence information for all the various 3rd party libraries used in UE4? I’m just curious, because normally Intel TBB is GPL v2, but the UE4 EULA states that we’re not allowed to distribute under any viral licences like GPL. I assume there must be some UE4-specific licence, which got me wondering where we can find this info? Do we just assume that Epic have done the right thing for all 3rd party libs that are shipped with the engine, and that we only need to go by the UE4 EULA?

Thanks,

Ben

We have a special license from Intel from TBB, so it’s not covered under GPL.

As for third party software generally, the EULA covers that here:

The Engine Code includes Third Party Software components. If Third Party Software has separate software license or attribution requirements, the license terms or other attribution requirements for Third Party Software components can be found in the installation directory for each engine version (under the /Engine/Source/ThirdParty/Licenses sub-folder). By entering into this Agreement and using Third Party Software, you are accepting the terms of those licenses. In this case, the Third Party Software terms will govern your use of the Third Party Software, and if there is inconsistency, those terms will take precedence over the terms of the License for the Third Party Software. You agree that the owners of the Third Party Software are intended third party beneficiaries to this Agreement in relation to your uses of Third Party Software.

I feel like I’m half way to a law degree after reading all this stuff! That’s great, thanks very much. :slight_smile:
