[vtkusers] Any GPU ray-tracing volume rendering?

[Wagner Sales]

Hi Charl,

I'm not a lawyer, but I think that's you can use an GPL compatible license
to your software ( new BSD license are compatible ) and no problems with
this.
Or the Kitware, when release, can put a list of compatible licenses (
something like a GPL exception ). For example, Trolltech do this with Qt,
and when I asked directly the same question, the answer was that's "yes, you
can use another more permissive license with Qt".

Regards,

Wagner Sales
