Non-Commercial License #23

Open jwaltner opened 7 months ago

jwaltner commented 7 months ago

@pitzer , Thank You for making this package available.

Is there a way that this can be released with a MIT, Apache2 license, or some license which allows commercial use? COLMAP uses your feature extractor for parallel GPU processing and with the current license, I can use COLMAP, NerfStudio, and other Photogrammetry programs which are based upon COLMAP for personal / hobby use, however, I can not use it at work since doesn't specify that it can be used commercially. Do you know if such a change is possible? Or do you know the process of attaining a commercial license?

Thanks!

Hi @jwaltner, I'm not the original other of this package and therefore it is not up to me the change the license. You could try to reach out to ccwu@cs.unc.edu to see if this is an option.

Thank You. I tried that email, but the email bounced and is no longer active (strangely, it bounced from ccwu@fafnir.cs.unc.edu even though I sent it to ccwu@cs.unc.edu), so don't know who to contact. I will poke around some more. This is really cool stuff. Thanks!
