We've got several files in SVN now with a "TODO: license" line in the header. I think we need to decide on a license for the code. Normally I'm a GPL advocate, but in this case we need to be concerned with what's best for OpenGL, and I think the GPL is too restrictive in this case. The dynamic-linking requirement of the LGPL is also restrictive, especially for the math library (which needs to be higher-performance than dynamic linking allows). I think in this case the zlib/libpng license is a good choice, for a couple of reasons. 1) No usage restrictions. Anyone can use the code for anything. 2) Simple to read and understand. We don't need to decide this immediately, but we should do it soon. Hopefully we'll have all the baseline code (GLS, GLM, GLE, contexts, and textures) finished within a couple of weeks. I'd like to do a "preview release" of the SDK with just those libraries once they're ready. We definitely need a license figured out before then. Branan |

Yes indeed we need. I am fine with the zlib-like license. We could also make a modified license of our own, based on it.

zlib (or generally, the MIT license) is usually my default open source license, so I'm fine with it. It's also compatible with libpng, glfw, and many other utility libraries we might be interested in using.

Okay good. If anyone else does not have objections or points, can we conclude we use the MIT license? Someone post a verbatim copy of the license here so I can include it to my GLM sources, please.

The ZLIB license is right here: http://zlib.net/zlib_license.html Just fix the file and copyright info for whatever you're using it for.

I have committed changes with the MIT license in each source (perhaps too hastly). We can later change it to the Khronos license.

Khronos license is basically the same as MIT, except it uses the word 'Material' instead of 'Software' and with Khronos copyright. We can't use Khronos in the copyright for the obvious reasons (we are not affiliated with it).

We can, however, say in plain-text somewhere that our license contains very simmilar terms to the license used by the Khronos group, or some such thing.
