Hi Clement,

Thanks for your reply. I am worried about FFMpeg. Since OSG is using ffmpeg on some functions, some patented algorithms are used inside ffmpeg. Even my program won't call ffmpeg any function, but I am worried OSG includes ffmpeg and OSG may have a risk on include patented algorithm. Does OSG separate from ffmpeg? Thanks.
OSG is not directly including nor using ffmpeg. It is a plugin. So if you are unsure about licensing/legal issues the best choice is not to deliver plugins in question. If my interpretation of GPL/LPGL based licenses is correct, simply leaving them out will not compromise OSG itself. osgPresentation for instance is GPL IIRC, but this doesn't affect the OSG license itself.

cheers
Sebastian




Regards,
Clement

Hi all,

Do I need to pay any patent fee or another fee if my commercial program is using OSG for 3D display? Thanks.

Hi,
standing to OSGPL license ( http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/about/licensing <http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/about/licensing>), you can freely use OSG in your proprietary products without paying any fee.
