<pre wrap="">Dear OpendTect user,
We are in the process of finalizing OpendTect v4.0. This will be a major release with many new and improved functionalities.
Please see this video for the highlights: <a

href="http://www.opendtect.org/tutorials/New_in_OD_4.0/New_in_OD_4.0.html">http://www.opendtect.org/tutorials/New_in_OD_4.0/New_in_OD_4.0.html</a> .
To ensure that this will be our best release ever we are first releasing a Release Candidate for external testing. We invite you to install and test "OpendTect v4.0.1 RC1" that can be downloaded from the <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.opendtect.org">www.opendtect.org</a> download center. Your feedback to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:support@opendtect.org">support@opendtect.org</a> will be highly appreciated.
OpendTect v4.0 is <u>completely free</u>!
Complete because with this release OpendTect supports all functionalities needed in seismic interpretation projects.
Free because the software is open source, and can be used at no cost as dGB has changed its licensing policy.
Henceforth OpendTect is released under a triple licensing strategy:
1) under the GNU / GPL license,
2) under a commercial license and,
3) under an academic license.
Under the GNU / GPL license OpendTect is completely free-of-charge, including for commercial use.
The commercial license enables the user to extend the system with (closed source) commercial plugins that can either be purchased or leased.
Under the academic license agreement universities can get free licenses for OpendTect and commercial plugins for R&D and educational purposes.
This release candidate includes all dGB plugins. To test these as well you will need a new license key. Please send your requests to

Thank you and best regards,
