Hi Robert I developed this plugin while working on a project based on Equalizer. So VertexData which I am using is taken from equalizer and modified to make them work as separate OSG plugin. Before contributing this plugin to OSG community, I asked project manager of Equalizer project Stefen regarding potential licensing issues and this is what he has said
"The kd-Tree (VertexBuffer*) is LGPL-licensed, and the base ply loader (ply*) is BSD. As long as you leave the copyright notices intact, there is no issue." so I think using these files in OSG should not be a problem. As far as author of ReaderWriterPLY.cpp is concerned I am the author. I am working for Darshan3d which is a subsidiary of VizExperts thats why I have put VizExperts copyright. I hope this make things clear to you.
