That's interesting. How would I find out what parts of OSG are governed by
which licenses? Especially when a source code comment block makes no mention
of licensing whatsoever, and simply states that's its copyrighted?

I understand the Terrex code and OpenFlight import plugin are intended to be
non-restrictive, regardless of the language in their comment blocks. I fear
the issue isn't limited to these two groups of files.

I have a law firm on retainer. I might have them take a look at the OSGPL
and a couple of source code files just to get an opinion. If the intent is
for the source to be freely available and usable, I'd like to hear what a
lawyer thinks would be the best way to update the source code to reflect
that: must the more restrictive comment language be stripped out? Or could
we just append a superseding comment block? Or some other solution? With
most businesses shut down for the holidays, I don't expect any progress on
this until early next year.
