Summary:  We classify the compact quantum groups $A_{\rm u}(Q)$ (respectively, $B_{\rm u}(Q)$) up to isomorphism when $Q>0$ (respectively, when $Q \bar{Q} \in {\bbb R} I_n$). We show that the general $A_{\rm u}(Q)$'s and $B_{\rm u}(Q)$'s for arbitrary $Q$ have explicit decompositions into free products of these special $A_{\rm u}(Q)$'s and $B_{\rm u}(Q)$'s.

Keywords:  Compact quantum groups, universal quantum groups, Woronowicz $C^*$-algebras, Hopf algebras, free products
