SonyWWS / ATF

Authoring Tools Framework (ATF) is a set of C#/.NET components for making tools on Windows. ATF has been in continuous development in Sony Computer Entertainment's (SCE) Worldwide Studios central tools group since early 2005. ATF has been used by most SCE first party studios to make many custom tools such as Naughty Dog’s level editor and shader editor for The Last of Us, Guerrilla Games’ sequence editor for Killzone games (including the Killzone: Shadow Fall PS4 launch title), an animation blending tool at Santa Monica Studio, a level editor at Bend Studio, a visual state machine editor for Quantic Dream, sound editing tools, and many others.

Is ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor in ThirdParty folder free to use ? #18

Hello,

I checked the file "EULA Addendum for ATF.pdf", and it says Actipro allows SCEA Inc. to use SyntaxEditor under certain circumstances. So despite that ATF is under Apache License, part of it is not supposed to use by other developers outside SCEA ?

Hello,

SyntaxEditor and everything else in the ThirdParty directory are licensed for use with ATF and can be distributed with ATF. Legally, you have to access Actipro's SyntaxEditor through ATF's ISyntaxEditorControl interface, which you can get by calling the static TextEditorFactory.CreateSyntaxHighlightingEditor(). Our CodeEditor sample app shows how this is done.
