According to VERSION.txt and the chipmunk-physics.net website, all Chipmunk Pro features are now open source.
Indeed, they do seem to be included in this repo, however they still list the following copyright disclaimer:

// Copyright 2013 Howling Moon Software. All rights reserved.
// See http://chipmunk2d.net/legal.php for more information.

The legal page that the mentioned URL redirects to states that licenses are still required in order to use the Pro features, but there does not appear to be anywhere to purchase one.

I expect this is just leftover stuff that hasn't been cleaned up since the features were open sourced, but it'd be great to get the legal page changed and the source code header changed to the MIT one, just to avoid confusion and make any potential lawyers happy.

Hey Silversquirl,
You are correct that Chipmunk Pro is now open source and new licenses are not required and cannot be purchased anymore. I think we kept that legal page up as a reference, especially for people who had previously made purchases under the terms of that license.

But I agree, those headers should be updated to not point at that page anymore. Thanks for noticing that!
