Hi Himar Just to comment your legal stuff:

That's why i did a comment about it. There is no problem to publish the modifications under OSGPL. If i understood the license terms correctly (i'm a programmer, not a lawyer and never woriking with LGPL before), if i modify some parts of OSG, i must publish them under OSGPL, right? But because OSGPL is based on LGPL, i can use OSG in any commercial product with his own license terms. That's right? I'm using OSG to develop a commercial product.
" Your application is a "work that uses the library" and "falls outside the scope of [the LGPL] license". Therefore, you are completely free regarding the license / commercial nature of your own application. On the other hand, the modifications that you make to the OSG (shared libraries and plugins) are a "derivative of the library" and should be made available to the public under the same license (OSGPL). This is normally both harmless for your intellectual property (because the real work is inside your app, not in the tweaks of the OSG) and a benefit for your public image (you let people know about your skills). Not to mention that all of us could also use your work :) Happy coding Thibault
