Question

I am looking into compiling Fortran code in Matlab. The only supported compiler is apparently the Intel Fortan Composer. I am wondering whether there is a license for academic use that includes distributing files compiled with Intel Fortran Composer for academic use?

Was it helpful?

Solution

There is academic license available from Intel, just look in their e-shop or ask your local reseller. It is not free of charge, however. I am using compiler covered by this license every day. It should include also the binary redistribution, but much better place for questions like this is the Intel Support Forums

OTHER TIPS

There is a non-commercial version of Intel's Fortran compiler for Linux: http://software.intel.com/en-us/non-commercial-software-development

I'm not too sure if that includes distribution of "academic" binaries - you'd better check the License agreement.

As of 2021, the Intel C++ and Fortran compilers are distributed via the Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit under the name "Intel C++ Compiler Classic" and "Intel Fortran Compiler Classic".

Intel's FAQ on commercial products support now states explicitly

Are all of the oneAPI Toolkits available for free?

Yes, all of the oneAPI Toolkits are available for free download and use for commercial and non-commercial purposes.

Intel says the oneAPI Toolkit will remain free of charge, with support provided through community forums.

The oneAPI Licensing Overview even allows redistribution of the software:

Use and Redistribution. You may use and redistribute the software (the "Software"), without modification, provided the following conditions are met:

  • Redistributions must reproduce the above copyright notice and the following terms of use in the Software and in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
