Professional usage of opensees

Post by mickele »

I have a question about the license of opensees:
may I use opensees for my professional activity? In other words, may I earn money from opensses' usage?
Thanks for your answers.

you only have to pay for OpenSees if you intend to sell or distribute software ccontaining OpenSees. It is free for
practicing engineers to use for their own purposes. Look at the COPYRIGHT statment.

Excuse me, probably I didn't explain very well my issue.
I don't want to create a software that contains opensees.
I am a freelance civil engineer and my job is to design civil buildings. I would like to use opensees in my activity and from COPYRIGHT statement I wasn't able to understand if this is possible.
