Got as far as reading the license agreement... It is even more
restrictive than GPL, so no thanks.

for example, under their license any changes I make even for
just my own usage have to be fed back to the owner.

another example- I can't redistribute the code even unmodified
without prior written permission

another example-- I can't sell copies of the modified code.

for "open source" that's a pretty darn restrictive license.

As for the app- it is pure 3D so doesn't meet OP's needs.
