+The source code files in this directory implement as tightly as 
+possible algorithms described in this IPOL article. They are made 
+available to the exclusive aim of serving as scientific tools enabling 
+the verification of the soundness and completeness of the algorithmic 
+descriptions.
+
+These source codes implement an algorithm possibly linked to the patent 
+[1][2]. Compiling or running this code may violate patents in certain 
+countries. For this reason, the use of the source files 
+- demo_ASIFT.cpp
+- compute_asift_keypoints.cpp
+- compute_asift_matches.cpp
+- demo_lib_sift.cpp
+may be restricted in certain countries to non profit research and non profit 
+educational purposes. In certain countries, redistribution or commercial 
+use of these source files may require the  consent of the patent owner.

+In short, be careful before you download, compile, use, modify, or 
+redistribute these source codes. The situation being different for every 
+country and changing over time, it is your responsibility to check that 
+you are not infringing a patent by using this source code. IPOL therefore 
+invites potential users to consult a patent lawyer. If and only if you are
+free from any patent restriction, then you can enjoy the BSD license terms.

+library, which is LGPL-licensed.
