Some files in the SL installation can't be freely redistributed. This means it's not possible to simply package and offer for download a modified viewer: some files must not be redistributed.

This page documents the licenses and redistribution requirements of various files used by the viewer.

Windows

These are the files that need to be shipped with the Windows version

Runtime

Microsoft components. It's not yet know whether they're redistributable.

FMOD

FMOD sound library. Free for non-commercial projects. A commercial license will be needed for a commercial viewer.

From the README in the package:

The fmod.dll file may be redistributed without the authors prior permission, 
and must remain unmodified.  The use of dll 'static linking' tools that aim
to hide the fmod library are forbidden.

Mozilla

The Gecko engine is MPL/GPL/LGPL licensed, which makes it redistributable.

  • app_settings/mozilla
  • freebl3.dll
  • gksvggdiplus.dll
  • js3250.dll
  • nspr4.dll
  • nss3.dll
  • nssckbi.dll
  • plc4.dll,
  • plds4.dll
  • smime3.dll
  • softokn3.dll
  • ssl3.dll
  • xpcom.dll
  • xul.dll

Kakadu

JPEG2000 library. Not redistributable. OpenJPEG is an alternative library that is redistributable (does it work on Windows?)

  • llkdu.dll
