| Copyright (C) 2002 Blender Foundation. All Rights Reserved. |
| |
| For teams that don't want to operate under the GPL, we're also offering |
| this "non-GPL" Blender License option. This means that you can download |
| the latest sources and tools via FTP or CVS from our site and sign an |
| additional agreement with the Blender Foundation, so you can keep your |
| source modifications confidential. Contact the Blender Foundation via |
| email at license@blender.org so we can discuss how we handle the |
| practical matters. |
| |
| A signed agreement allows you to do business with proprietary code, make |
| special derived versions, sell executables, projects or services, |
| provided that: |
| |
| 1. The BL-ed code remains copyrighted by the original owners, and cannot |
| be transferred to other parties |
| |
| 2. The BL-ed code cannot be published or re-distributed in any way, and |
| only be available for the internal staff that works directly on the |
| software itself. Employees of partners with which you co-develop on the |
| projects that include BL-ed code are considered 'internal staff' also. |
| |
| 3. The BL-ed code can be used (sold, distributed) in parts or in its |
| whole only as an executable or as a compiled library/module and its |
| header files. |
| |
| 4. The usage of the name Blender or the Blender logo is not included in |
| this license. Instead 'including Blender Foundation release X' (or |
| similar) can be used, with 'X' the version number of the initial Blender |
| Foundation release which you started with. |
| |
| 5. Note that this BL has no authority over some of the external |
| libraries licenses which Blender links with. |
| |
| Additionally you get : |
| |
| 1. The right to use Blender Foundation source updates for a 1 year |
| period. |
| |
| 2. Support. Details to be determined by the additional agreement. |
| |
| You are invited to donate your proprietary changes back to the open |
| source community after a reasonable time period. You are of course free |
| to choose not to do this. |
| |
| End of BL terms and conditions. |
