Copyright terms explanation required
Hi
I have been looking for a library to do FEA analysis with beam elements and it looks like OpenSees will work well for what I want to do.
I have a query on the copyright terms available here: https://opensees.berkeley.edu/OpenSees/copyright.php.
I am just not sure what the term "for internal purposes only" means. Can I as a consultant use this software to do calculations that will be presented in a report for a client?
