Hi Augusto, This is wonderful work. Of course I'm quite pleased with the quality of the 3D cockpit work. :-) >From a perhaps selfish perspective, I think that the FlightGear developers are >feeling great pride that their work attracts such talent as displayed by the >MB-339 PAN project. There is one minor issue that should be brought up. I might suggest taking a quick look at the GPL version 2 as distributed in the COPYING file with FlightGear: http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/data/COPYING?rev=1.3&cvsroot=FlightGear-0.9&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup The pertinent part to note is: *** begin quote *** 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. *** end quote *** As far as I can tell, the only place where a license change to GPL is needed is in the saitek.zip file, but I haven't really looked that hard at all the items in the aircraft distribution file. Those of you directly involved with the project would be better able to evaluate these requirements. Of course we respect any way in which the university and Frecce wish to protect their rights. My congratulations to all involved. Great job!
