Third-party model license
SCOPEinR is an R port of SCOPE (Soil Canopy Observation, Photochemistry and Energy fluxes), a model published and maintained by Christiaan van der Tol, Wouter Verhoef, Peiqi Yang, Egor Prikaziuk and collaborators. SCOPE’s own reference implementation, Christiaanvandertol/SCOPE (GitHub, MATLAB/R), is GPL-3.0-licensed.
Since this package’s entire purpose is porting SCOPE, SCOPEinR is distributed under GPL-3.0 (License: GPL-3 in DESCRIPTION) – this matches the Python port scopeinpython’s own license. SCOPEinR depends on ToolsRTM for leaf-level optics (PROSPECT-D/-PRO) – see that package’s own THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md for the licensing of those specific leaf models.
