Geo-Scatter Plugin Licenses
Our “GEO-SCATTER” plugin is composed of two interdependent components that work together to achieve its functionality: - A script component that is written in Python and uses the bpy libraries from blender, this script is mainly used for drawing an user interface - And an algorithm component based on blender geometry-node system licensed under an EULA similar to “Royalty Free” licensing.
The script component, which is responsible for integrating the algorithm into Blender, is released under the GPL. This means that users are free to modify and redistribute the script as long as they do so under the terms of the GPL. The geometry node algorithm component of our plugin, named “GEO-SCATTER ENGINE”, is licensed under an End-User License Agreement (EULA) that is similar to a “Royalty Free” license. Users are required to pay a one-time fee to use “GEO-SCATTER ENGINE”, there are no ongoing royalties or usage fees, and the license also allows users to use the algorithm for commercial purposes. This EULA includes additional conditions that users must read before installing and using our plugin. These conditions may include restrictions on modifying, using or distributing the algorithm, limitations on the number of users or installations, or other usage limitations.
When users install and use our plugin, they are agreeing to the terms of both licenses. Users should review and understand both licenses before using our plugin. If you have questions or concerns regarding this EULA, please contact us via, contact@geoscatter.com. If your business requires modifications to this agreement in order to integrate it into your studio’s legal framework, please feel free to contact us for further discussion.
