Hi,
I've decided what I'm going to do with my TrueVision3D 6.5 and Haaf's Game Engine wrappers. I'm going to give them away for free, closed source, with a license which permits commercial use ( of course ) but does not let you modify the wrapper ( you don't have source, you see ) offers no specific support and no additional features. If I fix bugs or make any changes to the core modules, you get those fixes and updates for free, of course. If you need help, you can post on the BB or CW forums, and I'll try to help if I can, when I have time. No additional restrictions on what you do with your games, beyond the license for the engine itself.
I will also offer an optional registration fee for each of the two modules. This entitles you to full support via the forum on my ( currently being overhauled ) website, priority bugfixes, etc, full source to the modules, a much improved license allowing you to modify my wrapper as you wish and access to any ancillary modules I may create. HGE *will* include all the helper classes for free, that's not what I'm talking about. But if I write any modules which use either game engine, you get those for free as well. No promises, but it's been nagging at me to do it for HGE, at least. The price for registration will be $39.95 for TV3D and $29.95 for HGE.
So if you don't want source, don't want to make changes, and don't really care about support, and don't want any additional helper modules, they're entirely free.
If you want to show your appreciation for all the ( very long ) nights I put into the modules, you want source, you want to make changes or you want support, they're $39.95 and $29.95 respectively.
Still waiting for the next beta release of TV3D, and still working very hard to get the website overhauled and ready for all this. I expect to have everything online within a week or so - albeit the site will probably be a bit bare in places - but I can't speak for the TV3D Beta, that's out of my control.
Hope that sounds fair.
