I'm looking for 3d engines with very generous licensing terms. I need to be able to distribute it such that people can make their own mods and "games", so unless the license explicitly permits that, commercial engines will be out of the question. I don't mind paying, BTW, but most commerical engines don't permit this. ( I've checked. )
Forget GPL and LGPL too, they won't permit this.
The only one I've come up with so far which might fit the bill is Irrlicht. I don't really like the way Irrlicht works though, and it doesn't seem to allow FX Shaders at all, which is a bit of a bugger. But the license terms are very generous and GMan's excellent wrapper makes it usable.
Any other thoughts of 3d Engines with such fabulously generous licenses?
What about ColdSteel? Does that load FX Shaders ( I know it's Irrlicht, but it's modified, no? ) And what about the license? Generous enough for what I want?
