Relicense or Remove Tiago #99

Closed nim65s closed 2 years ago

nim65s commented 3 years ago

As found by #98, Tiago is licensed by a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 3.0, which clearly forbids us to distribute this derivated work.

We should either :

kindly ask PAL-Robotics to either reconsider the license of their work, or to explicitely give us an exception
remove Tiago from example-robot-data

I believe we should ask PAL first and explain them our mistake. Otherwise, we have to remove it.

Removing the Tiago robot might repercute many folks. So, if needed, we should print a deprecated message explaining the major reasons for the remotion.

Tiago and Talos do not have the same license?

nim65s commented 2 years ago

I got an oral confirmation from PAL CEO & CTO: we can keep working like that. They will fix the license on their side when they will have time.
