OpenCV itself is distributed under the BSD license. It depends on a
handful of libraries that are all under BSD/GPL/LGPL (ffmpeg, ...).

One can also optionally link it against IPP (Intel Performance
Primitives), which replaces some core functions with implementations
that use MMX/SSE extensions. I believe that is only available under a
commercial license, but not having this library does not
remove/disable any OpenCV functionality, AFAIK.
