Common Grounds clarification
Jun 8^th, 2005, 11:53pm

I have been following Processing for over a year now. I mainly use Blender and Python as my tech-artist medium; however, I am looking to develope software to run on my machines that I have already started in Blender/Python. I noticed there's a "no commercial use" under the OpenGL library. Does this mean I can not use processing to program my application/applet, if it will help produce a real object I want to sell? I guess I could prototype in Processing and then do a rewrite to java/jogl. Great work, always inspiring! Thanks.

When you look at the library/OpenGL page on Processing.org, it has a CC logo underneath. This is supposedly the license for the page it sits on. This is the link it sends you to: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/

The Second icon below has the dollar sign with slash: no commercial use. Is this referring to something else

Thanks.

fry YaBB Moderator Offline Posts: 2623 mass, usa	Re: Common Grounds clarification Reply #6 - Jun 9^th, 2005, 7:42pm yeah, the cc license is for the documentation/site/examples, that sort of thing. casey decided to do that because it seemed more fitting for its goals, where GPL and LGPL make more sense for the code for the environment and library (processing.core) respectively.

REAS YaBB Moderator Offline Posts: 712 CA	Re: Common Grounds clarification Reply #8 - Jun 9^th, 2005, 8:47pm Yes, it's fine to write commercial applications with Processing. Actually, I think it's a good idea.

rherman YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 17	Re: Common Grounds clarification Reply #9 - Jun 9^th, 2005, 10:23pm Well in that case, I will definitely rethink my strategies. I do plan on releasing the source code to the application, however, it's the product that I am machining that's for sale, not the software. Are there any benchmarks for Processing so I can do an apples to apples comparison to Python? Thanks, again. Rob
