Hey guys!
I am planning a mini game series, maybe for low price, but so this are commercial projects. CEGUI is very great, so I have planned to use it for the series.

However, I did not read the licences of CEGUI and depending libraries. I am using theese libraries as depencies for CEGUI: Direct3D11, ExpatParser, FalagardWR, SILLY and tolua++. Further I gonna use my own (or free) fonts, imagesets, schemes and looknfeels.
Of course I will notice the use of CEGUI in the credits and thank for the great lib.

Are there any restrictions for commercial use?
Do I have to release a copy of all licence files of all (free) Libraries I use and CEGUI uses?

CEGUI is usable for commercial stuff. It's released under MIT license which allows you to even static link it. But you better read the exact terms of the license to get the details, I don't want to get sued for giving false advices :lol:

If you make the license text available in your distribution for others to see, all is well... From all the libs you plan to use I don't see anything preventing you from releasing proprietary stuff.
