## License

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Our licensing policy applies only to the rust crate `metis-rs`, not the original METIS library.
>
> For information about METIS' licensing policy, refer to the original library's [repository][METIS_GH].

metis-rs is distributed under the terms of both the MIT license and the Apache License (Version 2.0). Refer to `LICENSE-APACHE` and `LICENSE-MIT` for more details.

[METIS]: http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/metis/metis/overview
### Note on `cargo-vendor` usage

Because the project uses `cargo-vendor` and submodules, the original METIS code may be distributed along metis-rs.
This does not invalidate any of the above statements as the METIS version shipped with `cargo-vendor` has a compatible
licensing policy.

Were METIS' license to change and make this impossible, the version shipped with metis-rs would be fixed; Any further
licensing issues would have to be handled by users, as they are when users provide their own original library to use
with bindings.
