<p class="MainHeader" align="left">Summary</p>
<p>OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) is a
scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine written in C++ designed to make it
easier and more intuitive for developers to produce games and demos
utilising 3D hardware. The class library abstracts all the details of
using the underlying system libraries like Direct3D and OpenGL and
provides an interface based on world objects and other intuitive
classes. </p>
<p>To run these demos you need to have DirectX 9 installed, although
you can also choose to run the demos in OpenGL if you wish. </p>
<ul>
</ul>
<p class="mainheader" align="left">So now what?</p>
<p align="left">These demos are only a small sample of what you can achieve with OGRE. For more eye candy, visit the <a href="http://www.ogre3d.org/">Official Web Site</a>,
and click on 'Featured Projects. If you would like to start making
applications using OGRE, you can download the latest source code
and documentation from the site</p>
<p class="mainheader" align="left">Licensing</p>
<p>OGRE is available free (both 'free as in beer' and 'free as in speech') under the GNU Lesser General
Public License or LGPL (see Docs/licenses/lgpl.txt).
By downloading and using the software, you are subject to these
licensing conditions, so please read the license text carefully. The
LGPL is compatible with almost all possible uses of the library
(including commercial uses), but there are some responsibilities placed
upon the user to maintain the freedom of the software for
downstream users.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you may license OGRE under the OGRE Unrestricted
License (OUL) which comes with fewer conditions than the LGPL. This
license is commercial and basically allows you to pay for the
privilege of side-stepping the responsibilities of the LGPL. The
software in both cases is identical, only the licensing conditions
vary. If you wish to discuss this option please mail
licensing@ogre3d.org for more details.</p>
<p class="mainheader" align="left">Licensing for 3rd-party libraries used in OGRE</p>
Several 3rd-party libraries are used in OGRE for various purposes, and the licensing details of each are given here.<br>
<br>
<span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">Core Dependencies<br>
</span><br>
These are the libraries which the core of OGRE depends on, and are
therefore prerequisites for any use of OGRE. None of these libraries
have been modified from their original distributions, and they are all
licensed under liberal terms. You should read the detail of the
licenses when distributing an application since most require you to
include the license in your documentation. All the license texts are
included in the Docs/licenses folder.<br>
