Hallo, Eric Lyon hat gesagt: // Eric Lyon wrote:
The main reason I did not post the source is because it is not yet unified or easy to compile, and I wanted to make the externals available before however many months it might take for me to get the code in shape. However you are welcome to get the code over here (but you have to figure out how to compile it).
Figuring out stuff like this is what some people here specialize in. ;)
the homepage states (in red!): "FFTease may be used freely for any artistic or research purpose." which i consider to be _not_ compatible with the GPL.
I think this is probably correct; as I understand it, the GPL places some restrictions on what you can do with the code. I think we are a bit more permissive, but if there is some way that you find our "licencette" more restrictive, I'm willing to consider relaxing it.
The problem is, that any Open Source/Free Software by definition must not pose any restrictions on how that software is used. So if FFTease would *only* be allowed to be used for research and arts, but not for any other uses (like making coffee), then FFTease would not be free software as it violates "freedom 0": "The freedom to run the program, for any purpose" - including making coffee.
It would be nice, if FFTease somehow coule be made to drop the restriction on artistic andd research uses - like for example the OSC-Kit library by Matt Wright did about a year ago.
