pyoomph contains code taken from other authors/projects:
In src/thirdparty/oomph-lib/include, you find the necessary main files of oomph-lib, [LGPL v2.1 or later license]. Minor modifications as mentioned in src/thirdparty/INFO_oomph-lib had to be made. Furthermore, code parts of these oomph-lib files had been copied to corresponding derived classes of pyoomph.
A copy of the header-only library nanoflann is located in src/thirdparty/nanoflann.hpp, [BSD license]:

The file src/pyginacstruct.hpp is strongly based on the file structure.h of GiNaC, [GPL v2 or later license].
A copy of the library Project Nayuki/smallest enslosing circle, [LGPL v3 or later license] is added (after adding type specifications) to pyoomph/utils/smallest_circle.py.
Also, when using materials or the thermodynamic activity models AIOMFAC, original UNIFAC or modified UNIFAC (Dortmund), please cite the relevant publications.
The third-party licenses/acknowledgement files can be also found in src/thirdparty.
During compilation, pyoomph includes/links against or makes use of the following libraries:
GiNaC, [GPL v2 or later license], also statically linked in the distribution as python wheels
CLN, [GPL v2 or later license], also statically linked in the distribution as python wheels
MPI, depending on the system e.g. OpenMPI [3-clause BSD license], MPICH [MPICH license], Microsoft MPI [MIT license], note that MPI support is experimental and deactivated in the python wheels
python3.8+, [PSF license], also dynamically linked in the distribution as python wheels
pybind11, [BSD-style license], also statically linked in the distribution as python wheels
Beyond that, pyoomph makes use of the following libraries at runtime. During installation with pip, many (but not all) of these libraries are automatically fetched as requirements.
pybind11-stubgen, [BSD 3-Clause license] is used to generate python stubs from the C++ core
cibuildwheel, [BSD 2-Clause license] is used to compile the provided wheels
Be aware that some of these libraries can have further dependencies.
