skeleton with the SMPL gate, PROGRESS.md ledger, and spec/mixamorig_bones.json —
65 mixamorig bones (colon-prefixed) dumped from character_kit/female/female_game.glb
via headless Blender. This bone file is the retarget ground truth for Lane C.

# Licenses & legal findings
Every third-party model/dataset/tool that touches the pipeline gets a row here with
its license, commercial status, link, and the date checked. Skeleton now; Lane B fills
the pose-model rows, Lane E fills any training-dataset rows. See PLAN.md §Ground rules.
## Components
| Component | Version | License | Commercial OK? | Notes | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| _pose model (Lane B1 winner)_ | — | — | — | fill after bake-off | — |
| SMPL / SMPL-X body model | — | research (Meshcapade) | **NO** by default | commercial needs Meshcapade license; or use joints-only path (PLAN §5) | — |
| AMASS dataset | — | academic | **verify** before any shipped training | Lane E only | — |
| Mixamo clips | — | Adobe ToS | ship-in-game OK; **not** ML training data | — | — |
## The SMPL gate (hard stop — John decision)
Most SOTA monocular mocap models emit SMPL parameters. Before any commercial use:
- **Path A:** buy a Meshcapade commercial license (cheap tiers exist).
- **Path B (SMPL-free):** use only the model's joint positions/rotations, never the SMPL
mesh/shape files, AND confirm the inference repo's own code license permits commercial
use of outputs.
Lane B writes the decision to `docs/DECISIONS.md` and stops there if unresolved.
