As of Version 4.8, July, 2010, the Silo source code is now available
under the standard BSD Open Source License. See COPYRIGHT file for BSD
notice.
The source code for two compression libraries which have been part of
previous releases of the Silo library is not available under the
terms of the BSD Open Source license. These are the Hzip and FPzip
compression libraries.
For this reason, two different releases of the Silo source code are
made available. One is the BSD Open Source release identified by the
moniker 'bsd' in the distribution file names. For example,
silo-4.8-bsd.tar.gz is the name of a BSD Open Source release
distribution of Silo. The other is a non-Open Source release of Silo
under the same licensing terms that all previous releases have been
made. We call this other release a /legacy/ release. The legacy terms
are repeated, below, for convenience.

The BSD Open Source release distributions do not contain the Hzip and
FPzip compression libraries while the legacy release distributions do.
This means any objects within a Silo file containing data that is
compressed with Hzip or FPzip from a legacy distribution will not be
readable in a BSD distribution. Since compression features must be
explicitly turned on by a Silo application, this impact can be easily
mitigated by ensuring that Hzip and FPzip compression are used only
for objects within Silo files not intended to be read by BSD releases.
For more information on availability of Hzip and FPzip compression,
contact the developer, Peter Lindstrom, lindstrom2@llnl.gov.
