The DUNE library and headers are licensed under version 2 of the GNU
General Public License (see below), with a special exception for
linking and compiling against DUNE, the so-called "runtime exception."
The license is intended to be similiar to the GNU Lesser General
Public License, which by itself isn't suitable for a template library.
The exact wording of the exception reads as follows:
As a special exception, you may use the DUNE source files as part
of a software library or application without restriction.
Specifically, if other files instantiate templates or use macros or
inline functions from one or more of the DUNE source files, or you
compile one or more of the DUNE source files and link them with
other files to produce an executable, this does not by itself cause
the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public
License. This exception does not however invalidate any other
reasons why the executable file might be covered by the GNU General
Public License.
