No, you don't need a special license. Flightgear is distributed for free under the terms of the GPLv2. That basically comes down to the following: 1. You are free to take the code, and do with it what you want (change it, build it, distribute it, whatever). BUT if you want to distribute flightgear, you need to respect the following: 2. You are free to distribute flightgear, either in binary form or as source code, but you are obliged to publish the source code under the same license (or a compatible license). In case of binary distribution, the exact source code used to create the binary, must be provided with the binary.
