I am Boris Gjenero . I am not the author of G-Force; I only ported it to Unix. The source that I started with did not come with a COPYING file, and although I have contacted the author I haven't gotten a response yet. I only wrote the source in the _Unix-X directory and its subdirectories. The _Unix-X/libxpce and _Unix-X/libmfl are being released under the LGPL. See _Unix-X/libxpce/COPYING for more information. Note that I consider libmfl and libxpce to be separate libraries. They're only being distributed along with this package for convenience. As for the rest of the entire G-Force source, well I can't speak for the author; here's what he says in G-Force.doc: This plugin is open source. Don't steal the source code (feel free to use it, just give credit to where you got it from). Regarding using the program itself, here's what the author says: Use of G-Force is intended only for non-profit and hobbyist use and explicit permission to use it otherwise is required Andy O'Meara
