Licenses

The assetcreation-models project uses several licenses.

  • The source files (in Markdown, asciidoctor and other formats) for the Specification and supporting documentation are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (SPDX license identifier “CC-BY”).

  • Header files, scripts, programs, XML files, and other tooling used or generated as part of the build process are typically licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (SPDX license identifier “Apache-2.0”).

  • Some contributed samples are licensed under the CC0 1.0 Universal “Public Domain Dedication” license (SPDX license identifier “CC0-1.0”)

Users outside Khronos who create and post Specifications from this repository, whether modified or not, should use the CC-BY 4.0 license on the output documents (HTML, PDF, etc.) they generate. This is the default.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why are the HTML and PDF Specifications posted on Khronos' website under a license which is neither CC-BY nor Apache-2.0?

A: The Specifications posted by Khronos are licensed under the proprietary Khronos Specification License. Only these Specifications are Ratified by the Khronos Board of Promoters, and therefore they are the only Specifications covered by the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy.

Q: Does Khronos allow the creation and distribution of modified versions of the specifications, such as translations to other languages?

A: Yes. Such modified Specifications, since they are not created by Khronos, should be placed under the CC-BY license. If you believe your modifications are of general interest, consider contributing them back by making a pull request (PR) on the assetcreation-models project.

Q: Can I contribute changes to the assetcreation-models repository?

A: Yes, by opening an Issue or Pull Request (PR) on the assetcreation-models Github project. You must execute a click-through Contributor License Agreement, which brings your changes under the umbrella of the Khronos IP policy.

Q: Can you change the license on your files so they’re compatible with my license?

A: In cases of GPL-licensed projects which cannot incorporate Khronos code licensed only under Apache 2.0, we may be able to dual-license such files under Apache 2.0 OR MIT. If this is a requirement for your use case, please open an Issue on the github repository giving the details.
