Oh woah - I'm very happy about the BSD license. This means people can more easily potentially spin up business around this platform. I wonder why they chose it.

  BSD-like licenses seem to be the standard for userland graphics libraries. There's a lot of useful stuff in there (for example the shader compiler) that may be of general use elsewhere, and we wanted to make sure people could use it. The 3-clause BSD is a compromise - we're happy for the stuff to be used but it's nice to get some credit :)

    Thank you for the clarification. It seems overly generous =) Often code is GPL'd with pricey licenses for commercial applications - which always makes me think twice about investing my time into familiarizing with it. I'm very impressed they aren't trying to make a quick buck here. It sounds like they have a very innovative long term strategy that will pay off many times over. I think your competition is also fantastic, as it will encourage people to open source their improvements. Thank you for all your hard work Dr.Upton
