My understanding is that VCG is licensed under the GPL while ParaView is licensed under a less restrictive BSD-style license. We specifically require conributions to the VTK and ParaView repositories to be under the BSD license and not depend on software under the GPL so that PV+VTK can be used in closed-source commercial applications.</div><div><br></div><div>However, we do provide pathways for software under other licenses to be integrated into VTK and ParaView, including remote source modules[1] and plugins[2]. This way, people willing to accept the GPL can use your contribution.</div><div><br></div><div>Besides licensing issues, I am happy to take a look and provide some comments on how your code style matches VTK if you can point me to a public repo with the source code.</div><div><br></div><div> David</div><div><br></div><div>[1]: <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica;"><a href="https://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Remote_Modules">https://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Remote_Modules</a></span></div><div>[2]: <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica;"><a href="https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo">https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo</a></span></div></body></html>
