== Summary ==
SAGA is a Free Open Source Software (FOSS), which generally means that you have the freedom

to run the program, for any purpose,
to study how the program works and to modify it,
to redistribute copies,
to improve the program, and release the improvements to the public.

Except for the SAGA Application Programming Interface (API) most SAGA source codes have been licenced under the GNU General Public Licence or GPL. The GPL requires derived works to be available under the same or a comparable licence, with other words derived works have to become Open Source as well. For a few reasons the SAGA creators decided to use a less restrictive licence for the SAGA API. The API uses the GNU Lesser General Public Licence or LGPL, which permits use of this library in proprietary programs, i.e. SAGA modules, which always base on the API, have not automatically to be published as Open Source too.
