I haven't really encountered the discrepancies here, but it is my 
understanding from reading the license (the one agreed to when joining) that 
your level of membership determines whether you can use or distribute the 
toolkit (free to use, pay to distribute.)

We won't be selling software anytime in the near future, and I imagine that 
most companies which are using Perl for geometry processing won't either.  As 
far as these systems go, I don't see any problem with the openDWG license.
