OMNeT++ is licensed directly to SPEC by OpenSim Ltd.

Note: Therefore, source code references to other terms under which the program may be available are not relevant for the SPEC CPU 2017 version.

Under a BSD license, the benchmark uses a version of the Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator that differs somewhat from the version in mt19937ar.sep.tgz. The version in omnetpp is used under a BSD license, Copyright 1997 - 2002, Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura; Copyright 2000 - 2003, Richard J. Wagner.

WRF is licensed directly to SPEC by UCAR.

Note: Therefore, source code references to other terms under which the program may be available are not relevant for the SPEC CPU 2017 version.

The benchmark uses mpif.h, Copyright 2001 by Argonne National Laboratory, under the MCT license.

X264 is contributed to SPEC by VideoLAN under the GNU GPL, version 2

Input files named 'BuckBunny.264' are derived from the sources for Big Buck Bunny from the Blender Foundation (peach.blender.org) and are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license.

The decoder 'ldecod' is from the H.264/AVC reference software implementation with an ITU copyright and disclaimer. SPEC previously used H.264/AVC by permission in SPEC CPU 2006 (464.h264ref).

Blender was contributed to SPEC CPU 2017 by the Blender Foundation, under the terms of GNU GPL, version 3. Other redistributable sources added by SPEC are listed above. In addition, it should be noted that:

• 15 source files in 526.blender_r/src/blender/source/gameengine/Expressions are Copyright 1996-2000 Erwin Coumans and are acknowledged per the terms in the source files.
• 13 header files in 526.blender_r/src/include are from the Independent JPEG Group's software. In accordance with its license, this paragraph serves as notification that the software has been modified: none of the executable code is present, only header files. The header files have not been changed.
• 526.blender/src/blender/extern/glew/include/GL/glxew.h defines certain datatypes via excerpts from four X11 headers, in accordance with their terms.
• Many files available under BSD license are listed in an appendix.

The ESMF files within 527.cam4 are marked as GPL. That marking may be obsolete, and it is possible that the Illinois NCSA license applies instead. In any case, SPEC's version is available at directory redistributable_sources/modified/.

The benchmark uses 4 source files for list handling, copyright UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO; see MCT_license.
