The license states total freedom for the binaries, but it doesn't say anything about the sources. Here goes a quick translation: ################# Games can be freely distribuited. Hammer technologies does not have any right to receive any fee or royalties. Games made by using DIV Games Studio can be used for whatever you want, including selling them to companies, shareware, freeware, etc. Also, authors don't need to include any reference to DIV Games Studio or to Hammer Technologies, but they can do it if they want. In the installations you only need to include the file DIV32RUN.DLL, to link to the functions of the programming language. This file will be included in the final installations. DIV32RUN.DLL is a freeware application. You can always get the latest version at DIV Games Studio homepage. Also, creating and distributing libraries or utilities for this program is allowed, even if the replace some of its functions. ################# So, more info about the sources of DIV32RUN.DLL is needed in order to know if it is DSFG free.
