Douglas,
I?m not sure what question you are asking. LAPACK is freely available and is
distributed with a BSD license. See
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php for the details on the
license.
The BLAS is first a specification. IBM has an implementation of the
specification, so that shouldn?t be an issue.
Hope this helps,
Jack Dongarra

Subject: [Lapack] LAPACK/BLAS
Are there any procedures in place to insure that no one contributes code to
LAPACK/BLAS who is not entitled to?
IBM is thinking of using LAPACK/BLAS v3, and I just want to access the risks
involve in distributing such code.
Any information that you can provide would be appreciated.
