Since CoSolvent employs open source software and iPOV owns its own add-ons, iPOV can work with clients to structure very flexible licensing policies. For example, it is conceivable that a complete, working version could be burned to a DVD or flash drive and distributed at a trade show. That would be financially impossible with most commercial software.

|
|
Advertising
|
|
|
CoSolvent adds no advertising unless the client wishes to add their own ads.
