Is PopcornFx compatible with skyline?

http://www.popcornfx.com/

This looks like a great up todate tool for particle effects.

we have already tried to do a deal with them when they were named something different before.
Their licenses used to say for commercial use in ogre3d, it could be used free.
But to include it in the engine as a plugin, they wanted to charge us for it. Otherwise we would have had it.
Skyline Game Engine - Lead Dev.
Please provide as much info as possible when asking for help.

We would love to integrate this particle system as it has so many cool features such as soft particles, heat and other shaders. This would save us so much time creating these upgrades to the current system.

I noticed that the link you sent for the runtime ( just checkin it out) is for Ogre, but when i last spoke to them they would not entertain us using it for Skyline. It would be great if they have changed their licensing but without permission or a copy of the license we dare not take any chances.

Saying all of this both particle universe and raknet became open source! :D
