 The aim of the information presented hereafter is to provide a transparent access to the inner workings of the software from a **formal** standpoint. Note that, aside from this conceptual transparency, the software itself offers an option that makes it possible for the user to print, in a standardized format, any or all of the optimization problems actually solved in the course of an **Antares\_Simulator** session
 
-Used together with the elements developed in the next pages, this **practical** access to the internal model implemented the tool allows fair and open benchmarking with comparable software. Besides, another important issue regarding transparency is addressed by the release of **Antares\_Simulator** as an Open Source Gnu GPL 3.0 application.
+Used together with the elements developed in the next pages, this **practical** access to the internal model implemented the tool allows fair and open benchmarking with comparable software. Besides, another important issue regarding transparency is addressed by the release of **Antares\_Simulator** as an Open Source Gnu GPL 3.0 application, now changed to MPL-2.0.
 
 So as to delimit the scope of the present document with as much clarity as possible, it is important to notice that a typical **Antares\_Simulator** session involves different steps that are usually run in sequence, either automatically or with some degree of man-in-the-loop control, depending on the kind of study to perform.
