I did write to Maxim and even got a reply, but that is so long ago... IIRC, 
he didn't say we could have any special license conditions. But to be honest, 
I think it really doesn't matter very much. AGG is rock solid as is, and we 
would have a long path ahead of us if we ever wanted to make use of 
everything it offers right now. It is also very contained in the app_server, 
so that it would be easy to replace it, should that be necessary for any 
reason. I don't see any reason for that though.

Best regards,
