This software was mainly developed at the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). This work was supported in part by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 676548 (the BrightnESS project).

A substantial effort went into developing MCPL. If you use it for your work, we would appreciate it if you would use the following reference in your work:

Before release 2.0.0 of the code, MCPL was released under the CC0 license from Creative Commons. However, in recent years that license has fallen increasingly out of favour in the open source community, and it was therefore decided to instead adopt the more widely accepted Apache 2.0 license starting with the release 2.0.0 (all MCPL developers naturally agreed to this relicensing at the time).
