Open source

[koosoli]

Hi,
Is it true this is based on leaked code? If yes, are there no legal risk publishing this? Is there a way to make it clean room by porting to different programming language and or replace everything with better modules?
Or can we just ask the publisher to just open source the original code already?

Thanks

1. yes it is based on leak source code
2. there is an agreement between community and gsc. As long as you not try to earn from this somehow everything is okay.
3. clean room approach is possible when the programmer writes from the scratch not looking at source code of product. Xray itself is really huge so that approach is not practically possible
4. they won't open source it

About 4. there is always option to follow Blender route with it?

XRay Foundation have a nice ring to it...
