About the GPL License

Bforartists is free and open-source software, released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 3 or later, like Blender, which it is based on.

Draft: this page will be reviewed before release.

What the GPL means for you

• Use it for anything: personal work, commercial work, teaching and studio pipelines, with no fees and no limits.
• Your art is yours: the GPL covers the software, not what you make with it. Renders, models, animations and .blend files you create belong to you.
• Share and change it: you may copy Bforartists, give it away, and change its source code.
• Keep it free: if you distribute a changed version of Bforartists, you must share its source code under the same license.

Add-ons and scripts

Python add-ons that use the Bforartists API are generally considered to be covered by the GPL when they are distributed. Assets, textures and .blend files are not.
