Dear Maintainer,

the file openturns-1.3rc1/lib/src/Base/Func/SpecFunc/dcdflib.cxx contains 
functions from ACM transactions.
According to openturns-1.3rc1/lib/COPYING.dcdflib they may not be used in 
commercial products:
"General permission to copy and distribute the algorithm without fee is 
granted provided that the copies are not made or distributed for direct
commercial advantage."
Can you please check with upstream that the LGPL license in the header of 
dcdflib.cxx is really valid.

Thanks!
   Thorsten
