Aye, and AFAIII, it jjust says contact some guy for commercial use.
Nothing on commercial distribution, which is allowed under the GPL.
And, of course, commercial *use* is also allowed by the GPL and can't
be forbidden. Another illegal restriction. But what is the consequence?!
That one can ignore the restriction? I'm afraid that's not the case
before the law. Rather, the offender (Mark B.) loses the right to use
and distribute *any* GPL'ed software. Linux, KDE, GNOME, ...
... *FlightGear*! I'd say he should be educated (with a baseball bat :-).
Hi,
I think that the bad formulation on the ARToolkit page is an unintentional
mistake rather than an attempt to add restrictions to the GPL license.
The distribution archive contains only the standard GPL and mentions, as
far I can see, no further restrictions anywhere. It it also labeled as GPL
on the project's sourceforge page (which is also where the download
is located).
Cheers,
Anders
