Palantir - A Lightweight, RESTful DICOM Server

General Information
-------------------

General information about this software can be found on our Google
Code hosting page:
http://code.google.com/p/palantir-dicom/

The instructions for building Palantir can be found in the "INSTALL"
file.



Licensing
---------

Palantir is licensed under the GPLv3 license. Because Palantir uses
the Software-as-a-Service paradigm, commercial products are allowed to
access the Palantir REST services and to bundle Palantir in an
commercial aggregate. 

We also kindly require scientific works that make use of Palantir to
cite Palantir in their associated publications.

The files of the "PalantirCppClient" directory are licensed under the
MIT license, which allows commercial products to statically link
against the C++ client library.

-------------------

Currently, the supported platforms are:

* Linux 32bit.
* Linux 64bit.
* Windows 32bit.



Supported Toolchains
--------------------

Palantir can currently be built using the following compiling
toolchains:

* Native Linux compilation, with gcc.
* Native Windows compilation, with Microsoft Visual Studio.
* Cross-compilation for Windows under Linux, with MinGW.
