Libraries

This page is for linking to available Fortran libraries and source code repositories. See Software repositories for collections of libraries and see Library distribution for methods for packaging and distributing Fortran libraries.

Libraries linked here are classified as follows:

• (PD) public domain (e.g., software written by the U.S. government)

• (OS) free and open source software (GPL, LGPL, BSD, and similar licenses)

• (NC) free for noncommercial use, possibly with commercial licensing options

• (C) commercial

• (?) unspecified license

When available, the above tags should link to the license page for a particular library, or to the text of the license itself.
