SNAPPEA AND SNAPPY:
Regina includes portions of the SnapPea kernel and its successor SnapPy,
which it uses for some geometric calculations. The SnapPea kernel was
originally written by Jeff Weeks. SnapPy, where this kernel is now maintained,
is primarily developed by Marc Culler and Nathan Dunfield, with contributions
from many people. SnapPy and the corresponding SnapPea kernel are distributed

the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation,
either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
PYBIND11:
Regina includes a copy of pybind11, which it uses to generate python bindings
for Regina's native C++ code. The pybind11 library was written by
Wenzel Jakob, and is distributed under a BSD-style license that is shipped
with Regina's source code in the file python/pybind11/LICENSE.
ORB KERNEL:
Regina includes snippets of code from Orb, for use in importing and
exporting files in Orb / Casson format. Orb is based on SnapPea
(see above) with additional code written by Damian Heard, who has also
