As a result, the majority of the source code falls under the MIT license, however, some parts are under two non-commercial licenses (see below). The Genome Browser Web CGI programs are under a non-commercial license by UC, the BLAT program suite is licensed by Kent Informatics. Two libraries are bundled for convenience, they can be redistributed under their original open source licenses. As a result, if you are a non-commercial entity, you can use all the source code for free. However, if you are commercial, you may need to pay if you want to install a web-based Genome Browser locally or use BLAT locally (command line or web GUI). This means that all UCSC Genome Browser command-line tools and their required libraries are released under the MIT License. This includes our various file -format converters, like bedToBigBed and wigToBigWig and any tools to create +format converters, such as bedToBigBed and wigToBigWig, and any tools to create files needed for track hubs. They can be redistributed in any way necessary. In total, the code in this repository is covered by five different licenses: FREE Licenses: 1. the default is the MIT license (attached below) - this includes, for example, all code to read and write the Genome Browser file formats, such as bigBed and bigWig, and the command line tools for these, bedToBigBed, wigToBigWig and the tagStorm tools and the parasol job scheduler. - also, third-party code from open-source projects bundled for convenience, in src/htslib (MIT) 2.
