# Getting your copy of BRL-CAD

You may obtain a copy of the BRL-CAD Package distribution materials in one of two ways:

FREE distribution with no support privileges
  BRL-CAD is now available as Open Source software. It may be readily downloaded and redistributed under the terms of several licenses. More details are provided in the source distribution's COPYING file.

FULL SERVICE distribution
  The Survivability/Vulnerability Information Analysis Center (SURVIAC) administers the supported BRL-CAD distributions and information exchange programs for BRL through the SURVIAC Aberdeen Satellite Office. The full service distribution cost is US$500. There is no cost to US Government Agencies. A copy of the BRL-CAD package will be provided to you on your choice of magnetic tape media. You may also elect to obtain your copy via network FTP. One printed set of BRL-CAD documentation will be mailed to you. BRL-CAD maintenance releases and errata sheets will be provided at no additional charge, and you will have access to full technical assistance by phone, FAX, letter, or E-mail. Complete and return a signed copy of the distribution agreement and survey form with a check or purchase order payable to "BA&H/SURVIAC" and mail to:
