You may argue with this definition of Free Software from the FSF but any code dumped to anyone with any licence is Open-Source. > I would recommend the MIT license for any libraries as it is truley open > source You recommend LGPL or MIT, make your mind. > bye! > Samarth AGARWAL Ok, I suggest you to go straight to you point: Do you represent a entity which would like to use soya3d engine in a commercial product? If so, what are this product and what kind of contribution could be expect from you?
