HI,

This is not really directly related to the project, but it's also an issue. So I was wondering if it's okay for you, if I use the framework of this project to do another project for example, even if it's commerical. Of course, you can also use it for your own projects.

I'm saying this because during the winter break in february, I want to create a game in a week with some of my colleagues. Maybe it's going to be a commercial game but i'm not sure. This framework would speed up a lot the project.

Tell me if it bothers you. If it is, I can take the lines I commited until now and start a project with that.

Just to be clear I will only use core/environment.h and math/vector.h. The rest will be different, we will use a different graphics library and it will be a different game genre.

Go ahead. I don't see why I should prohibit. In fact, it is in these kind of projects I hoped we would come up with core frameworks that would be reused in future projects, public, personal, commercial, etc. My philosophy on copyright is that unless it is one of the primary technologies or something unique, then it's ok. The framework has been done over hundreds of times, and has no features worthy of copyright that has something over any other framework.
