Hi Mark,

How is your contracting system worked out?

NeL is under GNU/GPL licence, if you want to use NeL to make your mmorpg, you need your project to use the same licence, more information about the licence is here:

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php

Or an human readable explaination:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/

Is the entire Nel Tool open source?

Almost all, and we also have Ryzom tools that are not open source.

> How is the game sold?

With money :) Players pay for the game access and to get the game.

Is the game closed source under a private contract?

Actually you don't have other choice that using the GNU/GPL licence if you want to make a game with NeL.

> I am making a MMORPG game using GNU software and am trying to
figure out what contracting I should use. Is there a way to make my tools and game completley open source and still profit with sevice charges? Should I use a Private contract somewhere?

Of course you can opensource all your code and earn money with the service charge (player access to servers, give support to other people that want make another game with your code, ...)
