Can I use the bgslibrary in my commercial application?

• Some algorithms of the bgslibrary are free for commercial purposes and others not. First you need to contact the authors of your desired background subtraction method and check with them the appropriate license. For more additional information, please see: Can I use a GPLv3 software as a part of my commercial application?.
