[Bf-cycles] C++ API and the GPL

[Ben Dansie]

Hi All,

I think it was meant in terms of Vray can't link to Blender via the api, not 3dsmax can't link to Cycles. If this is actually the case regarding the api then it's more of an issue imho.

Could be wrong.

Cheers,
Ben

Been doing research on the interwebs and have come to the conclusion

it's not possible for a proprietary renderer to use the the C++ api.



The only way for this to work would be something like

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#LinkingOverControlledInterface.



Just thought I'd throw this out there since I'm sure it'll come up

again now that the api is being actively used in trunk.
