Slicer3:Acknowledgements
History
Slicer is an Open Source development project begun at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Surgical Planning Laboratory (SPL) at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. Slicer is now in active research use at institutions around the world with contributing developers sponsored by a variety of governmental, commercial, and institutional funding sources.
MIT held the initial copyright to the source code (for Slicer 1.x and Slicer 2.0-2.3, 1999-2004), and has transferred copyright to BWH as of Slicer version 2.4, in 2005. BWH continues to administer the copyright, but as of the slicer license adopted for Slicer 2.6 and beyond, contributors explicitly retain ownership of their contributions (by making contributions to the slicer repository they are giving permission for BWH to distribute their code under the terms of the slicer license). The text of the copyright can be found here.
The SPL coordinates the ongoing development and hosts a wide range of clinical and development efforts using Slicer.
