42
43
44<p>OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) is a
45scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine written in C++ designed to make it
46easier and more intuitive for developers to produce games and demos
47utilising 3D hardware. The class library abstracts all the details of
48using the underlying system libraries like Direct3D and OpenGL and
49provides an interface based on world objects and other intuitive
50classes. </p>
51
52
53<p>To run these demos you need to have DirectX 9 installed, although
54you can also choose to run the demos in OpenGL if you wish.&nbsp;</p>

60
61<p class="mainheader" align="left">So now what?</p>
62
63
64
65<p align="left">These demos are only a small sample of what you can achieve with OGRE. For more eye candy, visit the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ogre3d.org/">Official Web Site</a>,
66and click on 'Featured Projects. If you would like to start making
67applications using OGRE,&nbsp;you can download the latest source code
68and documentation from the site</p>
69<p class="mainheader" align="left">Licensing</p>
70
71
72
73
74
75<p>OGRE is available&nbsp;free (both 'free as in beer' and 'free as in speech')&nbsp;under the GNU Lesser General
76Public License or LGPL&nbsp;(see Docs/licenses/lgpl.txt).
77By downloading and using the software, you are subject to these
78licensing conditions, so please read the license text carefully. The
79LGPL is compatible with almost all possible uses of the library
80(including commercial uses), but there are some responsibilities placed
81upon the user to maintain the&nbsp;freedom of the software for
82downstream users.</p>
83
84
85<p>Alternatively, you may license OGRE under the OGRE Unrestricted
86License (OUL) which comes with fewer conditions than the LGPL. This
87license is commercial and&nbsp;basically allows you to&nbsp;pay for the
88privilege of side-stepping the responsibilities of the LGPL. The
89software in both cases is identical, only the licensing conditions
90vary. If you wish to discuss this option&nbsp; please mail
91licensing@ogre3d.org for more details.</p>
92
93
94<p class="mainheader" align="left">Licensing for 3rd-party libraries used in OGRE</p>
95
96
97
98Several 3rd-party libraries are used in OGRE for various purposes, and the licensing details of each are given here.<br>

111
112
113These are the libraries which the core of OGRE depends on, and are
114therefore prerequisites for any use of OGRE. None of these libraries
115have been modified from their original distributions, and they are all
116licensed under liberal terms. You should read the detail of the
117licenses when distributing an application since most require you to
118include the license in your documentation. All the license texts are
119included in the Docs/licenses folder.<br>
