Using Disney's and Carnegie Mellon U' in webpage? Licensing?

[powerpup118]

Hi, on my website where I will embed my p3d game, I have several users deathly afraid to install anything… I was wondering (from a ‘your legal perspective’) if it would be okay to include a header like this on my website:

‘’’
You need the Panda3D web plugin developed by Disney and maintained by Carnegie Mellon University to play this game.

Download it here: link
‘’’

Does this sound okay with the licensing? I know BSD mentions alot about ‘No mention of Disney or Carnegie Mellong University without strict written permission’

I know none of you are probably lawyers, so personal opinions of if I will get in trouble doing this would be of great help

That should be fine.

You’re probably worried about this section of the licence:

@licence

3. Neither the name of Carnegie Mellon University nor the names of other contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

But because you’re linking to the software itself, rather than linking to derived software (e.g. a version of the plugin that you modified), it is no problem to use the name of CMU or other contributors in this situation.

Yes this was the section I was worried about! I should have quoted it

That makes much more sense, thank you very much!
