Not yet, the "gpu" module to get this info was only added recently, So far X3D exporter writes out these shaders when H3D compatibility is enabled, (H3D is an X3D engine). > In that case we could track back who contributed to the glsl files and > check if it can be BSD'ed or MIT'ed so... 1+, but not my code :) > -Ton- > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Ton Roosendaal Blender Foundation t...@blender.org www.blender.org > Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A 1018AD Amsterdam The Netherlands > > On 13 Oct, 2011, at 19:48, Dalai Felinto wrote: > >> Hi Ton, >> >> the shader files (gpu_shader_material.glsl and >> gpu_shader_vertex.glsl) have >> no license header on them. >> Thus my hope that they were not under the GPL. >> >> In fact most of the code snippets we have there are classic >> implementations. >> I don't think they can even be under specific license. >> I find strange to have GPL reinforced over them. >> >>> First: there's no "BF" or "BFL" license... it's just "GNU GPL v2 >> or later". :) >> I guess I was a bit outdated :p I was referring to this >> http://www.blender.org/BL/ >> >> Thanks, >> Dalai >> >> 2011/10/13 Tom M <letter...@gmail.com> >> >>> Ton, >>> >>> check with FSF, but I seriously doubt that a shader would be >>> expressive, and hence is not copyrightable. >>> >>> A generated shader is even less likely to be viewed as expressive. >>> >>> LetterRip >>> >>> On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 1:36 AM, Ton Roosendaal <t...@blender.org> >>> wrote: >>>> Hi Dalai, >>>> >>>> First: there's no "BF" or "BFL" license... it's just "GNU GPL v2 or >>>> later". :) >>>> >>>> If I understand the function well, it's generating a text file using >>>> the GLSL shader code as in our svn (which is GPL).
