If you are going to clone the Coin repository, be aware that almost all Coin3d repositories heavily make use of submodules. So a simple
git clone https://github.com/coin3d/coin
would not get you a functional clone of the Coin repository. Instead you need to use
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/coin3d/coin
The submodules are listed in .gitmodules, and the full documentation of Git submodules is here.
If you make improvements in your fork then please take the time to make a pull request so others can easily make use of it.
These are the people that are on the team with the power to accept your PR.
If you want to be on the team, then drop a line in the mailing list, and one of the admins will be able to add you to it.
BSD and Bitbucket? Coin3D used to be a commercial product, right?
From 1998 to 2011 Coin3D was developed and maintained by Systems in Motion (SIM), later renamed to Kongsberg SIM, later merged into the parent company Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies (Kongsberg).
During this period Coin3D was available under a dual licensing scheme, offering the choice between GPL or a Professional Edition License.
Mid-2011, Kongsberg decided to end Coin3D as a commercial product due to diminishing demand and changing business focus.
As a service to the user community Kongsberg re-licensed Coin3D under the BSD 3-clause license.
This letter was sent to Professional Edition License holders and the mailing lists in November 2011.
