Hi Liam,

The Apache License (which is what Away3D is under) states that you can
do whatever you want, including incorporate the work (i.e. the Away3D
framework) into your own commercial products and/or redistributing the
source with or without modifications. You must however leave any
copyright statements and license files (e.g. LICENSE.txt) intact if
you do redistribute the source code.

However, if you do not intend to actually redistribute the source
code, but only create a product that you distribute in compiled form,
there is no legal requirement to include an Away3D logo or anything in
that fashion.

That said, we obviously appreciate if you keep an Away3D logo in your
credits screen or opening titles, or if you say "made with Away3D" on
any product packaging or accompanying websites. This is not a
requirement, but an easy way for you to show your appreciation for the
work that is being put into Away3D. Obviously another thing that you
can do is to donate to the Away3D project, which helps us pay for
keeping our website online and things like that.

So bottom line: We do not legally require you to advertise Away3D in
your product, or support the project financially, but we appreciate if
you want to do it! :)


Cheers
/R
