Code in the COOPY project is all free and open source (licensed under the GPL; LGPL port in the works). The ssmerge and ssdiff programs currently make use of libcsv. The ssfossil program is a thin wrapper around fossil. The coopy program uses wxWidgets. Optionally, programs also make use of the spreadsheet library within Gnumeric.
