[DGD] Commercial Licenses?

[Alan Wood]

Wow.  That is alot more than I expected it to be. 
Many commercial 3d networking engines are not that
expensive.  (For instance, NetImmerse from NDL which
was used in DAOC)

Any chance to go on a royalty basis or % of profit or
whatnot?  Or will there be a "you can't make a profit,
but you can ask for donations" license?  

Thanks,

Alan
