Is it possible to sell a commercial android app using OpenCV android port? [closed]

Question

I'm interested in developing an android app that makes use of an OpenCV android port at http://code.google.com/p/android-opencv/. Particularly, I want to use SURF features which comes embedded in the OpenCV framework but I'm not sure if then I will be able to sell this app.

Anyway, is there any non-free app making use of any of the OpenCV android ports?

Answer 1

SURF is a patented algorithm. You need permissions to use it in commercial applications. SURF comes with OpenCV because there its being used for "academic" or "research" purposes, without any commercialization involved.

Answer 2

Read the license files of the particular port you are using.

The two different ports I googled and looked at in the past two minutes seem quite clear.
