    Hi,

    What is the licence on AGG?

    On sourceforge project page, its listed as MIT license but on the below URl it is listed 2.5 is GPL.

    http://agg.sourceforge.net/antigrain.com/license/index.html

    Thanks

    The sourceforge project is based on AGG 2.4 and retains the permissive license. Version 2.5 was released with exactly the same code as 2.4 but with a GPL license. No futher work was ever done on version 2.5 to my knowledge.

    See http://agg.sourceforge.net/antigrain.com/news/index.html

    Jim,

    Thanks for the quick response and the link.

    Just to clarify that I understood correctly -- all the changes made on this repo, for example version 2.7 https://sourceforge.net/p/agg/svn/134/ continue to retain the old permissive license.

    Do you know if the forked agg-2.5 version matained somewhere else?

    Thanks,
    Sakthi

    Your understanding is correct. I am not aware of any actively maintained fork of the GPL'd agg-2.5.

    I know of this Git repo which has some commits against the GPL 2.5 version. I think it's just an unofficial fork, but it's something at least.
    https://github.com/timothytylee/agg/commits/master

    And this one is listed as 2.6 and has even more commits and more recent changes.

    I'm also maintaining my own fork at https://github.com/cppfw/agg
    I have done some changes there too (check pull requests).
