So far for Windows and Mac, and Linux version is "being compiled". It says you can use the models in your game, but the license is not mentioned.

This looks exciting - if somewhat weird.

In Dryad, you create a tree by visually navigating to it through a design space: the space of all trees. This space has close to a hundred dimensions and Dryad lets you move around it as if it were a city map. To help you find your way, Dryads around the world communicate to share which trees were picked in the past. A collaborative mapping of the tree space emerges, which your Dryad uses to gently steer you towards high-quality finds. We call this collaborative design space exploration.

Created by hippies?

Here is some further info from my pals at Dr Dobb's: http://www.ddj.com/development-tools/205600750

This product, whilst good, is severely flawed in how you can look for trees. Scrolling slowly around a virtual forest looking for the tree you want is just a major chore. Many are pretty much the same tree.

The 'tree finding' part of this is slow, tedious and abysmal.
