The GPU engine and the delivered plugins/frontends from this homepage are under GPL. TGnutella is commercial, but we hope on the long term to substitute it with Pastella, an Open Source solution delivered by nanobit. Terragen is closed source, but free for non-commercial use. The GPL on the core does not forbid to develop closed source extensions for GPU.
