Tellusim Core SDK Opens Up For Use By OSI-Approved Open-Source Projects

([Linux Gaming] 4 Hours Ago Tellusim Core SDK)


Over the weekend we wrote about [1]the visually-impressive Tellusim Core SDK being posted to GitHub as a C++ SDK for high-end graphics and compute. The downside was that the Tellusim Core SKD was rather restrictive in only being free for education, free for companies with less than $200k USD in annual revenue, and evaluation purposes. Or you needed to obtain a negotiated license for the software. As a pleasant surprise, OSI-approved open-source projects not backed by for-profit organizations can now openly use this superb graphics SDK.

In [2]responding to feedback raised on the prior Phoronix article, Tellusim founder Alexander Zapryagaev added an exception for such open-source projects that are community-focused / not backed by a for-profit organization.

The Tellusim Core SDK has now added this license acknowledgement:

"Tellusim Core SDK is free for open source non-commercial projects distributed under OSI-approved licenses (such as MIT, BSD, GPL, LGPL, or Apache 2.0), provided that such projects are not affiliated with or sponsored by for-profit organizations."

Thus now opening it up to more uses and making this project certainly much more interesting to community open-source developers / hobbyists. Great job Tellusim Technologies!

Those wanting to check out the Tellusim Core SDK can find it on [3]GitHub .

One day this guy is finally fed up with his middle-class existence and
decides to do something about it. He calls up his best friend, who is a
mathematical genius. "Look," he says, "do you suppose you could find some
way mathematically of guaranteeing winning at the race track? We could
make a lot of money and retire and enjoy life." The mathematician thinks
this over a bit and walks away mumbling to himself.
A week later his friend drops by to ask the genius if he's had any
success. The genius, looking a little bleary-eyed, replies, "Well, yes,
actually I do have an idea, and I'm reasonably sure that it will work, but
there a number of details to be figured out.
After the second week the mathematician appears at his friend's house,
looking quite a bit rumpled, and announces, "I think I've got it! I still have
some of the theory to work out, but now I'm certain that I'm on the right
track."
At the end of the third week the mathematician wakes his friend by
pounding on his door at three in the morning. He has dark circles under his
eyes. His hair hasn't been combed for many days. He appears to be wearing
the same clothes as the last time. He has several pencils sticking out from
behind his ears and an almost maniacal expression on his face. "WE CAN DO
IT! WE CAN DO IT!!" he shrieks. "I have discovered the perfect solution!!
And it's so EASY! First, we assume that horses are perfect spheres in simple
harmonic motion..."
