Potential license issue #1

Can you elaborate on your reasoning about the CC0 license?

On your readme it says "Public Domain or CC-by-zero", but if this is based on Make Human code - Make Human uses viral copy left AGPL licensing which does not allow even binary linking. If you use it in your project it requires your whole project to be AGPL. Only the models produced by Make Human are CC0.

So, are you actually using Make Human code from the strict AGPL licensed code base, or is this based on an earlier version of Make Human before AGPL licensing, or is this only similar to Make Human in function and not based on Make Human code (in which case you could be in violation of their trade mark)?

I'm asking because I'm interested in this project, but there could be severe legal repercussions in actually using GoMakeHumandot and thinking it's CC0 licensed.

from what i get is that the author is using the exported model with blendshapes to make the character creation possible and therefore i dont see any issue here

am linking the following License information

taken from the official makehuman github C. The license for the bundled assets https://github.com/makehumancommunity/makehuman/blob/master/LICENSE.md#c-the-license-for-the-bundled-assets

Now please correct me if am wrong but this looks solid So this issue should be closed
