Does the SMC license cover the files SMC generates?
No. The .sm files and the output files SMC generates from .sm files belong to you and are covered by your copyright (if you are using one.) The SMC license covers those files associated with SMC (including but not limited to the source files implementing SMC, the supporting C++/Java/[incr Tcl]/VB.net/C# libraries, C++ .h files, etc.) Note: If you do use a copyright comment in your source code, then I suggest placing that comment within the verbatim code block ( %{ … %} ) at the top of you .sm file. SMC will place this comment at the top of the generated files (except the *_sm.h if the target language is C++).
