During evaluation, you can run MoltenGL without purchasing a license. You will see a MoltenGL product logo displayed as a watermark overlay on your rendered scene. You must purchase a license for MoltenGL before releasing MoltenGL as part of a production game or application. Once a valid license has been purchased and activated to cover the MoltenGL features you are using, the MoltenGL product logo watermark will disappear.
MoltenVK is now open source, and is available on GitHub.
