The engine is licensed in three forms, and closed-source distribution of an application built on the open-source form has a program of its own. The rest of the workstation is free software in every case.
The Gendl kernel is free software under the GNU Affero General Public License, for any use, commercial deployment included. An application built on it and distributed, or served to others over a network, makes its own source available under a compatible license, as the AGPL requires.
A note for anyone building a KBE kernel of their own: reading Gendl's source can raise copyright questions for that work. Contact Genworks to discuss alternatives.
A closed-source application built on Gendl may be distributed under the royalty program instead of the AGPL: quarterly reporting, and a royalty of 5% of the revenue from the application, under Genworks' AGPL exemption terms. Every non-AGPL deployment is reported quarterly, including one that earns nothing: there is no minimum revenue below which reporting is not required, and the royalty on zero revenue is zero. The royalty page carries the current process and the reporting flow.
A development license: an AGPL exception for closed-source development, commercial support from Genworks, and Allegro CL from Franz Inc as the foundation. It is a development license, not a runtime deployment license.
Everything in Professional, plus Allegro CL's excl:generate-application, which builds standalone runtime applications. The seat
licenses the build, not the running: each runtime built with it needs
its own license to run, either a standalone runtime license or a VAR
agreement.
A separate option, added to either a Professional or an Enterprise seat: NURBS surface and boundary-representation solid modeling on the SMLib kernel. STEP and IGES import and export are part of it, not separate options.
Annual and unlimited, with every Professional and Enterprise seat: technical support, maintenance releases, bug fixes, and guidance.
Basalt, Readymacs, and Lisply-MCP are free software under the AGPL, maintained by Genworks.
The workstation is for development; a runtime deployment typically needs none of it. A runtime can be standalone and free of the AGPL when it is built with commercially licensed Genworks GDL, or with Gendl under the royalty program.
