Hi! ^_^/

Thank you for making Hunyuan 3D 2.0 available. However, I noticed that the current Community License Agreement does not apply in the European Union (and other regions), which effectively excludes many potential users and contributors (including myself ^_^U).

I would like to suggest considering a more universally recognized open-source license, such as Apache 2.0 (https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) or MIT (https://opensource.org/license/MIT).

Advantages of using one of these licenses:

  • Global Usage and Collaboration: Researchers and developers worldwide (including in the EU) could adopt and contribute without legal uncertainties.
  • Broader Adoption: A standard, well-known license often encourages more people and organizations to get involved and offer improvements.
  • Clear Legal Terms: Licenses like Apache 2.0 include well-known disclaimers and patent provisions that protect both maintainers and users, reducing legal risks and misunderstandings.

I understand there may be reasons for the current license, and I was wondering if you could share more about the context behind this choice. It would be great to understand your perspective.

At the same time, I hope you’ll consider a more open approach. It could significantly expand Hunyuan 3D’s reach and community support.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! :)
