UE4 ZeroMQ Plugin

UE4 ZeroMQ Plugin

This Plugin maps functions from the ZeroMQ Library to Blueprints-Functions in UE4.

Compiling third party libs

In \Plugins\UEZeroMQPlugin\Source\ThirdParty you find some scripts to automate some task. For libsodium and libzmq this will run successfully. For libczmq you have to call the vs2015 project map explicitly and batch build only the libs.

Status

Still Work in Progress (WIP).

License incompatible with UE4

Hey guys, I appreciate what your doing here, its a pretty exciting idea, however you might have a problem with your license choice.

UE4 unfortunately is incompatible with GPL code, as while its quasi open source, its not free software in the FSF definition of the word and has restrictions that violate the GPL.

What you COULD do however is use an LGPL license, as long as the build settings are set up correctly to ensure its not statically linked, as the LGPL does allow dynamically linked combinations with non free software, as long as any changes to your code are distributed back onto github or whatever.

Finally , you need to also check UE4s license as it likely contains phraseology prohibiting combining with non compatible licenses.

To be clear: I am not a lawyer, so you should NOT take this as advice, however I could shoot a letter off to the FSF to get someone to check in and give a more canonical answer, if you wish.
