Eigen is primarily MPL2 licensed. See COPYING.MPL2 and these links:
http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/
http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/FAQ.html
Some files contain third-party code under BSD or LGPL licenses, whence the other
COPYING.* files here.
If you want to guarantee that the Eigen code that you are #including is licensed
under the MPL2 and possibly more permissive licenses (like BSD), #define this
preprocessor symbol:
EIGEN_MPL2_ONLY
For example, with most compilers, you could add this to your project CXXFLAGS:
-DEIGEN_MPL2_ONLY
This will cause a compilation error to be generated if you #include any code that is
LGPL licensed.
