On the matter of using the cycle engine in other programs.
The Blender GPL license requires that any add on to blender must have its source code available under the same GPL license as blender.
This includes Cycles,EEVEE ,all of Blender itself. Smith Micro extracted the cycles code from blender and built a (not very complete) fork of the render engine for poser 11.
realtime view port preview capability is a feature that requires more specific alterations to the core /host program itself.
A task SM chose not to undertake for their own reasons.
