Not that an end-user could do. Now if MM were to do a rewrite...

What we're running into is a problem that plagues small software developers, either they have to pay through the nose to license an engine from someone else, or they have to reinvent the wheel in order to put some eye-candy on the screen.

nah, he should have used Oger, it's open source, free, can be used in a retail game, and one of the better graphics engines out there.

Very, very good point! Ogre could have given us some serious eye-candy.

More developers need to take a good hard look at Ogre and not be scared-off by the term "open source." Most folks tend to think all open-source stuff is GPL'd and that they would have to release all their source code but that is not the case with Ogre, it is released as LGPL.

Put simply, if you modify the engine you have to share those modifications, the rest of your code is... your code! You don't have to show it to anyone.
