Please refer to the corresponding lists embedded with each release (i.e. COPYRIGHT.TXT and THIRDPARTY.TXT files) or extract the detailed dependencies tree from the source code with the following Maven command:

mvn dependency:tree

Completed by the external tools (e.g. Gmsh) embed with the SPIS release.

In case of developments performed for agencies, like ESA or CNES, the elements listed here below should be considered as “Background Intellectual Property Rights” ( BIPR) and we strongly recommend to submit this list to the relevant contract and technical officers for approbation prior to all usage and/or integration of these elements in whole or in part.

Furthermore, we remind that these components may themselves based on other third-parties components or “transitive dependencies” not listed here.

Please notice that some elements might subject to geographical and/or application fields restrictions, please check before use.
