Will there be any support for uploading models without commercial licenses? Or will those be permanently wiped from the internet?
Hi @Rectus_SA . Fab will support two licenses: Creative Commons Attribution and Standard.
For me to be able to answer your question a bit better, could you share a bit more about your particular concern? For example, do you have models on Sketchfab right now that are licensed as CC BY-NC?
I have models licensed both by CC BY-NC as well as non-downloadable ones.
I feel like a big use of Sketchfab is as a model gallery, rather than a store. There doesn’t seem to be any other sites that can replicate that functionality. In particular the model inspector has been a great learning tool, being able to see exactly how a model is constructed.
Will CC0 be allowed?
Hi @KimLaughton . Fab will only offer CC BY and Standard licenses.
It will not offer CC0, CC BY-NC (Non-Commercial), CC BY-SA (ShareAlike), or CC BY-ND (No Derivatives).
@Rectus_SA we hope to be able to share more information soon about Sketchfab’s gallery feature. It’s always been my favorite part of Sketchfab so I get where you’re coming from.
Thanks, is there any reason for this? It doesn’t seem like offering other CC options would require any extra workload on the part of the site (other than a dropdown menu). If I want to upload a model and don’t need any credit when it is used why would that be a problem?
