ParticlesOCL.cl appears to be licensed under proprietary non-free NVIDIA license #741

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The license header of Demos/ParticlesOpenCL/ParticlesOCL.cl states that this 
file is licensed under the zlib license. However at line 297 there is another 
license paragraph that indicates that the file is licensed under NVIDIA's 
proprietary license.

I would appreciate it if someone could clarify what license applies to 
ParticlesOCL.cl.

Thank you

Markus

As far as I know the NVIDIA license refers to the EULA of the samples of the 
CUDA SDK, which permits the use of the code for commercial and non-commercial 
purposes, free of charge.

Anyway, it is better to use radix sort, instead of bitonic sort. In Bullet 3.x 
we re-implemented the particle demo, using radix sort. See 
https://github.com/erwincoumans/bullet3/tree/master/Demos3/GpuDemos

Let's remove the Bullet 2.x particle demo, and just refer to Bullet 3.x.
