Using recalibration in a commercial setting

It is worth noting that recalibration is done by GATK, which is itself subject to a dual purpose licensing: free for academic non-commercial research activities, subject to a fee for commercial use.

Starting from v1.2, MinVar by defaults does not recalibrate the base quality scores (you can evaluate the difference in this Note on recalibration). If you decide to use MinVar with recalibration for commercial purposes, you will have to obtain a licence for GATK from Broad Institute.
