Third-party code under non-GPL terms (MIB2)
The compiled MIB2 includes the unmodified code of BM3D v2.00/2.01 and BM4D v3.2 by Tampere University, Finland. MIB2 uses it for the BMxD denoising filters (Menu -> Image -> Image filters and the Image filters panel of the main window). This code is not part of MIB and is not covered by the GNU General Public License above: it may be used only for nonprofit, non-commercial purposes, unless you have your own license for BM3D/BM4D from Tampere University, and it must not be extracted from the application or redistributed separately. The BMxD filters are not available in MIB2 until you download the BM3D package yourself from https://webpages.tuni.fi/foi/GCF-BM3D/ and select its folder in Menu -> File -> Preferences -> External directories. The full terms are in the licenses directory of the MIB2 distribution, see also the external licenses.

The compiled MIB3 does not include BM3D/BM4D: the BMxD filter is available only in MIB3 for MATLAB, with BM3D installed by the user.
