Hi list, I'm interested in taking some code from osgFX( particulary cartoon and bump mapping ), modifying it, and putting the result under the GPL. Since the OpenSceneGraph Public License is based on the LGPL, and the LGPL permits switching to the GPL, you would think I just have to change any references.
However at http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Legal it reads "You may not distribute the source code or libraries under any other license, unless authorised to do so by the Copyright holders.", so it contradicts itself. My question( mostly directed at Robert ) is if the OSGPL permits switching to the GPL. If it does not, I would like to request permission, and in the case you are not the copyright holder, if you could point me in the direction of that person. If you are interested in knowing what kind of changes I want to make, it's to separate them from osgFX:: Effect class( maybe subclass from osg:: Group ), allow them to be mixed with the ambient color, allow the Cartoon effect to select the texture unit and remove the outline( and possibly try to avoid using fragment programs at all ), and for the bump mapping effect to not require a diffuse texture. - Coz _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
