BSD licensed third-party code is not really a big problem.

Example:
eclipse.pde. In the related IP Log and the "Third-Party Code" entry therein
is a "CQ 2040" for the BSD-licensed asm 3.1
( http://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log.php?projectid=eclipse .pde )

Want to use a source distribution instead of a binary distribution? Wat to
distribute modified code ? Not certain of the answers ?
Contact the EMO"

LWJGL is currently bundled as an unmodified (binary) distribution, i.e.
the official release of LWJGL is simply packed into an Eclipse plugin.
(Since I also provide a source and javadoc plugin for documentation
purposes, it's not a pure binary distribution, but the source and
documentation are not modified). But I will contact the LWJGL authors
and ask them if we can find a better solution, we were already
discussing the idea of integrating the Eclipse plugin into the LWJGL
build process. Then there would be an "official" LWJGL plugin.

Also, I'm thinking of refactoring GEF3D in order to reduce its
dependencies to LWJGL. This is not too easy since we are currently
using LWJGL's math package, but I think it should be possible. Instead
of calling static OpenGL functions I want to create an interface
Graphics3D, much like the SWT Graphics interface. That way we could use
different render libraries, such as JOGL, Eclipse OpenGL or LWJGL --
and of course non OpenGL renderes for exporting 3D scenes to X3D or
stuff like that. I've filed a bug report on GEF3D's bugzilla:
https://gorgo.fernuni-hagen.de/bugzilla-3.0.4/show_bug.cgi?i d=10

Cheers,

Jens
