Thank you for your excellent work.

I understand that this open-source project is currently following the MIT license along with the previous issue #41 . However, to my knowledge (and I'm asking because I'm not entirely sure), this open-source utilizes the SMPL model, which has a license that prohibits commercial use. (https://smpl.is.tue.mpg.de/modellicense.html)

Despite this, I would like to inquire if this open-source can still be freely used independently of this restriction.

SMPL: Skinned Multi-Person Linear Model (hereinafter "SMPL-Model") is a 3D representation of the human body that supports realistic changes in body shape and pose. SMPL-Body is a subset of SMPL-Model which excludes the shape blendshapes or the tools to create 3D bodies using the shape blendshapes of the SMPL-Model. A SMPL-Body contains a 3D mesh, a skeleton rig, pose blendshapes and dynamic blendshapes. A SMPL-Body can be shared in the form of OBJ file(s), animated FBX file(s), or as a set of mesh vertices, skeleton rig, pose blendshapes and dynamic blendshapes in other appropriate 3D file formats.

SMPL-Body is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. To view a copy of this license, visit:
