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.
