Does Blender require that the code be licensed as GPL or was this a team decision?

If the latter, are you open to converting the license to something more permissive? BSD 3-clause maybe?

Blender does not require GPL license. We made the decision as a team to use GPL as that is what the HiRise DTM importer we built off of used. If BSD-3 is more permissive that is fine. We are all new to open source licensing so whatever you think the best decision is we will go with it.

Since the HiRise DTM importer was GPL, it will all depend on code reuse. It could be that the code must be GPL. I will take a look. If not, I will alter the license to be more permissive, such that USGS can continue to develop the code and release.
