Ya, paragraph #4 is interesting, notably:
"An electronic copy of the source code for all modifications
made to the Software are to be forwarded to Licensor at
panda3d-owner@yahoogroups.com within 90 days of the date of the
modifications."
I didn't notice anything in the license that says they'll reject
changes. I bet they just want to benefit from the open-source
community without looking around themselves.
