Some clarification on the license

I work for a surgeon who wants to have videos created about different procedures. He would like the work I create for him to legally stay his own. For the most part these would be the videos. If I were to use ZAnatomy, would we still be able to protect his videos as his own IP or would it have to fall into CC BY-SA 4.0 as well? I doubt he'd have a problem with needing to credit the initial author of the model, but he doesn't want other people to be able to distribute the content that he's paid for, be it models or videos I create or changes I make to the existing model.

The good news is that both the modification and the commercialization are authorized.

Some open source projects get funded/supported in this way:

-the client pays less and accepts to use an open source license

-the worker has less work and can do more missions

-the author and community receive the contributions for free

Everybody can benefit from this process.

(And I do not understand much the principle of proprietary surgical education material, anyway)

Yeah, I completely agree. As someone who has been reaping the benefits of blender for years now I definitely love the open source model. I was just under the impression that paid tutorials or addons for blender can still be produced since blender itself isn't being edited and distributed in those cases. That's why I was wondering whether or not it's the same for ZAnatomy. Now I see that it definitely helps to see ZAnatomy as a product of its own that is allowed to be distributed but not to be owned by anyone, rather than a product provided, edited and locked off from others Ultimately I think it's a business decision. If someone wants to make sure that people don't make money on the product they paid to develop, I guess it's in their rights to want to protect it. I'm going to pitch it to them anyway and they'll have to decide which direction to go. I would definitely like to have more eyes on this project though, it's really cool

Ah, thank you very much for clarifying. It definitely goes to show how amazing this project is and how far it has gotten. I will be sure to notify them if I do end up working on it. Thank you!

Dear Ms Nel,

The images exported from any part of the models of this website must be shared under the same license.

This project does not receive any funding; it has been created as an alternative to the proprietary solutions, not to provide them free material.

A good practice would also be to notify the author(s) when a modification is produced to allow them to integrate these modifications in their own resources, as it is usually done on Github.
