Hey i''ve recently started learning C++ and to keep my interest I compile some nice OpenGL tutorials from gametutorials.com and nehe.gamedev.net. Basically I wanted to know what NeHe is. I mean in some of the downloads on their site included with the program code, there is often a NeHe header or source file: ''NeHe basecode'' or something. Some people release games and demos stating they used the NeHe framework etc. Okay this is what i''m guessing it is until i''ve learnt C++ enough to fully understand it or unless someone gives me an explanation (hint hint ). I think it''s a bunch of code that makes the creation of applications using OpenGL a lot easier. Meh, i''m probably totally wrong. Anyway, when people create things with this NeHe basecode, are they allowed to do anything they want with their finished product? Thanks.

Thanks for that uninformative answer. Maybe you could answer the question instead of just pasting a url I already mentioned.

NeHe is short for Neon Helium, the alias of Jeff Molofee, the guy in charge of that site.

Yes, you''re correct about the NeHe framework. Check the licensing for legal information.
