@aothms yes, when I first came across it I was uncertain of the interpretation (agreed that your interpretation is much more sane!) so I talked with Lindsay directly to clarify, and unfortunately it seemed to be the opposite intention - though he did mention changing it and discussing with some of his partners... but unfortunately no conclusion was made. I am linking him to this thread with another reminder to check the wording, so hopefully he can chime in. I've just pinged him again on LinkedIn. I haven't had a response in a while, so he could be ignoring me now?
Until he clarifies the ambiguity on the website or a lawyer chimes in on what should be the official legal interpretation, I would hesitate to support any claims of free software.

Great news! Lindsay has now confirmed that it is dual licensed without any caveats, so it can be used under AGPL-3.0! See website: http://xeokit.io/index.html#pricing
I've added xeokit back to the free software directory.
From Lindsay:
Hi Dion, just an FYI that we've dropped the phrase "license required for commercial use" on our website: http://xeokit.io/index.html#pricing
xeokit will always be free and open source.
We'd appreciate it if you could relay this to the OSArch community for us.
Thanks!
I think we should support them 100%, as they are currently the most advanced server-side browser based viewer. This also removes the complications about supporting OpenProject (as they use xeokit)!
