+PDAL is a BSD licensed library for translating and manipulating point cloud
+data of various formats. It is a library that is analogous to the GDAL raster
+library. PDAL is focussed on reading, writing, and translating point cloud data
+from the ever-growing constellation of data formats that are being developed
+for working with multi-dimensional emitted-pulse scanning systems. While PDAL
+is not explicitly limited to working with LiDAR data formats, its initial
+rollout is focused in that area.
