Hope is the right thread.
I saw somebody is selling public domain IES light profiles from Pixar on the marketplace. It’s even a staff pick. Isn’t that a bit shady?
stuff is freely available to everyone. Not to mention lamp manufacturers provide all their profiles for free aswell on the internet.

I looked into and it appears Epic is aware of fact. In the Technical Details section on the marketplace page for the IES Lights it states:
[]

Secondly, (Epic’s Content Curator) replied to a comment on matter with the following statement:
[]
Correct, is listed in the Technical Details and a link to the original content is provided. After much internal discussion, Epic determined usage of public domain content is allowed.

Hope that helps to clear it up a bit for you.
