So external contributors can only provide patches without being able to test themselves I suppose.
Is the c3d dev license cheap enough for determined contributors to join? As in, cheaper than a f360 maker license?
I do not mean this in any pejorative sense. As a dev/maker I kept an eye on c3d for a long time, since that seems the only advanced-enough and commercially affordable brep kernel around to get off the ground quickly.
However, there's no discussion the closed nature pretty much bars any sort of in-depth contributor.
At least, contributing to a project like this would be extremely off-putting for me, to the point that besides having the ability to look a bit deeper than usual, I question whether keeping the source open does much.
