From 0935a8399d2cbd9f6a4234bc7219b367fac345fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: StockerMC <44980366+StockerMC@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 23:48:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] License the code under Apache-2.0 and list third-party terms docs/licences.md records every model and library the pipeline runs with its terms. Several (Pi3X, SegFormer, SMPL-X, Multi-HMR, the Inria rasterizer, nvdiffrast) are research-only, so worlds from the full pipeline are not yet commercially usable.
