stevefromio Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I never heard about Babylon before seeing this section of the site. What type of license does Babylon have? Is it free for commercial use? I mean really free for commercial use? Thanks,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhaber Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It looks like Apache 2.0. The answer is on their github page: https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad72 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I have read that yes there at some time. The license had been reviewed for this if I remember well. By against the engine Babylon must be recess distribute free and not sold. But your games done with Babylon can be sold.I hope I am not mistaken.Deltakosh will tell you more.

stevefromio Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah, I am a little confused, but at least I can play around with it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhaber Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If I understand correctly, the Apache license is fairly liberal. I think you can do nearly anything (including selling the software,) so long as you meet the terms of the license. These terms include maintaining copyrights, attributions, the license itself, and other notices. I don't think you need to share your modified source either. Here is a FAQ that may clear it up: http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukaszo Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I am not sure about limitations of Apache license and always choose MIT licensed libraries for commercial projects. That's why i use Three.js now, even though I think Babylon.js is way much better than Three.js. It would be superb if Babylon.js would be MIT licensed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 @lukaszo Can you tell me what is blocking you in the Apache2 license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukaszo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thank you for responses. I've read more about these licenses and it seems like apache is very similar to MIT. I like MIT because it's pretty short and simple. Apache is not as easy to understand :) GameMonetize 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
