OpenCV 4.5.0 and higher versions are licensed under the Apache 2 License.

OpenCV 4.4.0 and lower

OpenCV 4.4.0 and lower versions, including OpenCV 3.x, OpenCV 2.x, and OpenCV 1.x, are licensed under the 3-clause BSD license.

By downloading, copying, installing or using the software you agree to this license. If you do not agree to this license, do not download, install, copy or use the software.
