A. The overall license setup for MPFB

MPFB uses the same license setup as MakeHuman, but with GPLv3 as source code license rather than AGPL (in order to put it more in line with Blender's source code license).

The MPFB addon consists of two separate parts:

  • Source code: the program logic that powers the application.
  • Assets: The graphical data that the application operates on

B. The license for the source code as such

The MPFB source code is defined as files that contain program logic. This includes python files, shell scripts and configuration files.

The MPFB source (as defined per the above) is released under GPLv3.

C. The license for the bundled assets

The assets are defined as any data contributing to the output from MPFB. This includes:

  • The base mesh and proxies
  • Targets and modifiers
  • Textures
  • Clothes (any MHCLO-based asset)
  • Rigs, poses and expressions
  • JSON data with mesh information

These assets have been released under CC0 1.0 Universal. In summary this means that to the fullest extent possible, it is the intention of the MakeHuman team that anyone can do whatever they want with it.

For the full text of the legal statement regarding the assets, see LICENSE.ASSETS.md

D. Concerning the output from MPFB

It is the opinion of the MakeHuman team that no output from MPFB contains any trace of program logic. That is, regardless of whether you use the UI as such or if you call functions of MPFB via a script (such as an addon that extends MPFB), what you get is a combination of assets and your own creative input. As the assets have been released under CC0, there is no limitation on what you can do with this combined output.

To make it clear, the MakeHuman team makes no claim whatsoever over output such as:

  • Exports to files (FBX, OBJ, DAE, MHX2...)
  • Graphical data generated via scripting or plugins
  • Renderings
  • Screenshots
  • Saved model files

We regard these things as your data, which is yours to handle as you see fit.
