7The directory:
8
9  - [Review](../Review)
10
11is exempt from the following policies:
12
13  - Backward Compatibility Policy
14  - Copyright Policy
15
16as they are defined by the [Insight Software Consortium (ISC)](https://www.insightsoftwareconsortium.org/).
17
18In practical terms that means that the classes in this directory are not
19considered to be a permanent part of the ITK toolkit, and therefore they may
20disappear in the future or their API may change without notice.
21
22The copyright of files in this directory may not have been transfered yet to
23the [Insight Software Consortium (ISC)](https://www.insightsoftwareconsortium.org/)
24and therefore may not be assumed to be under the same BSD-like license of the
25rest of the toolkit. During the time that files are in this directory, users
26must check their copyright status with ITK developers.
27
28The purpose of this directory is to provide a code review zone for classes
29that are candidates to be added to the ITK toolkit.
30
31Files in this directory are not expected to stay here for more than one
32release cycle. The classes are expected to mature as a result of discussions
33among developers, and when they are ready and their copyright has been
34transfered to the ISC, then they should be moved to their permanent directory
35in the toolkit.
36
37Some classes may not reach the level required for becoming a permante
38component of the ITK toolkit, and as a result will be removed from this
39directory.
40
41If you have any questions regarding the status of classes in this directory,
42please post a message to the ITK users or the [ITK discussion forum](http://discourse.itk.org).
43Please make sure that you mention what exact version of ITK you are using.
