MHX2 exported models license

Are models exported from Makehuman using the MHX2 plugin under the GPLv3 license?.

No asset data from MakeHuman is GPL (it's CC0 for bundled assets, and/or CC-BY if you use a third-part asset).

The original author of MHX (Thomas Larson) has stated that the additional data added by MHX to the export isn't to be considered GPL either.

But that's about as far as we can make promises about MHX, as that is a third part extension.

It might be worth mentioning that MHX is generally considered deprecated and that it might have problems working in more recent versions of blender.

The recommended import path from MakeHuman to Blender is MPFB. See http://static.makehumancommunity.org/mp ... _mhx2.html
