Yes these are from the NVDIA SDK [1].

I think the applicable license is found at [2].

The NVIDIA MeshMender is a helper tool for per pixel lightning that was 
part of the original fancy lighting implementation that is currently 
unused or commented out completely in the OpenGLServer.

Therefore I think we could also remove the NVIDIA files from the CVS if 
necessary.

cheers,
Markus

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your answer.

I've tried removing these files from server, but they are used by
voidmeshimporter plug-in. Anyway,  I think the license should be acceptable as a
free license.

It seems that voidmeshimporter is not used currently right?! So in the worst
case I should be able to remove this plugin from the package (?).

Thanks again,
Hedayat
