The legal status of the code is not entirely clear. Some programs are clearly in the
public domainThe public domain is a range of abstract materials—commonly referred to as intellectual property—which are not owned or controlled by anyone. The term indicates that these materials are therefore "public property", and available for anyone to use for any purpose...

SLATECSLATEC Common Mathematical Library is a FORTRAN 77 library of over 1400 general purpose mathematical and statistical routines. The code was developed at US Government research laboratories, and is in the public domain. The current version is 4.1 ....
). However, no license terms or terms of use are stated for many programs.
Netlib is indexed by the
