If the intention is to shoot some video from FlightGear in action yourself there should be no restrictions. However if you wanted to use video's created by others you should contact every one of them and ask for permission to broadcast it.

[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear Sim usage on a TV show
Hi, I work for a TV production company in Colombia, we are doing a show about people that like videogames, one of them likes flight simulators and we are wondering if it is possible to use material from your Flight simulator, also knowing if theres any document we can have to support its use and the distribution of this material to perpetuity and through all media and regions. Thank you very much Camilo Meza Ingeniero Jefe de Post producción FOX Telecolombia S.A Móvil: (57) 320 344 4110 camilo.m...@foxtelecolombia.com -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Thank you very much I'm sure someone more central to the flightgear project will give you a more correct answer, But as flightgear is GPL, You are able to freely download/use/modify (with the right skill) and redistribute it (as is or as long as your changes are made public). The GPL license is included with a flightgear install under COPYING, But to save on the download here is the link from the source repository: https://www.gitorious.org/fg/flightgear/blobs/next/COPYING If you need to download it, here is a link to the download page: http://www.flightgear.org/download/ I've never heard of any law that states you cannot record video from software and broadcast it, even commercial software, but I'm not a lawyer, I don't live in America and that's more an area for some type of legal department to look into. I'd bet that flightgear attracts a fair few users because of youtube videos, I can't see any reason why this would not be allowed (and if I lived there I'd totally watch this too). -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
