FYI, here's the relevant chunk of the nicely concise but rather uptight Radiance license:
"Radiance is a registered copyright of The Regents of the University of California ("The Regents"). The Regents grant to you a nonexclusive,nontransferable license ("License") to use Radiance source code without fee. You may not sell or distribute Radiance to others without the prior express written permission of The Regents. You may compile and use this software on any machines to which you have personal access, and may share its use with others who have access to the same machines."
In other words, we can improve Radiance for our own use, and we can share that use with you as long as you're using our machine. That's exactly what we do via RenderCity.
But we can't share the improved software itself without getting permission from "The Regents of the University of California". Personally, I kind of burned out on "The Regents" in the process of getting that Cal degree...
