Re: Lua C Functions in C++ class

["Ivaylo Beltchev" <ivo@...>]

Hi, Joshua...

I have a question about LuaPlus.

I was wondering if LuaPlus is distributed under the same license terms as Lua itself. I couldn't find any information in that topic in the distribution. Is it available free for non-commercial or commercial use?

Thanks
Ivo
