license
libtorrent is released under the BSD-license.
This means that you can use the library in your project without having to release its source code. The only requirement is that you give credit to the author of the library by including the libtorrent license in your software or documentation.
It is however greatly appreciated if additional features are contributed back to the open source project. Patches can be emailed to the mailing list or posted to the bug tracker.
