I am trying to add a mannequin to the Clothing mod.
I want to use .obj file delivered from skinsdb_3d_armor_character_5.blend.
But skinsdb mod is under GPLv3 license, and Clothing mod under LGPLv2.1 license for code and CC BY-SA 3.0 for multimedia files.
The Clothing mod cannot be moved to GPLv3, because it is based on old code from more authors.
The author of the skinsdb_3d_armor_character_5.blend looks to be inactive for more than a year.
Is it possible to be done in some way without breaking licensing?

Did you try to contact the author(s)?

Re: License of media file
I don't know the absolute legal answer to this question, but I don't think you have to release every component of your mod under a single licence. If you've gained a component that allows reproducing, modifying and redistribution, you can maintain the original licence on that component.

Thanks for your answer. I check the problem of multi-licensing, and it looks like LGPLv2.1 can be legally relicensed under GPLv2 or GPLv3 license.loosewheel wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 22:28I don't know the absolute legal answer to this question, but I don't think you have to release every component of your mod under a single licence.

But GPLv3 looks to be compatible only with CC BY-SA 4.0, not CC BY-SA 3.0.
So I probably have to keep it outside the basic mod.
