### Third party software and other licenses

We include a list of (GPL-) compatible third party software for the sake
43+
of an easier install of `PIConGPU`. Contributions to these parts of the
44+
repository should *not* be made in the `thirdParty/` directory but in
45+
*their according repositories* (that we import).

48+
mallocMC is a fast memory allocator for many core accelerators and was

originally forked from the `ScatterAlloc` project.

It is licensed under the *MIT License*.
