You don't need any permissions, the license is meant to ensure only that code changes to OpenSCAD itself need to be shared as soon as this changed application is distributed. Actual use of the application has no restriction other than that it comes without any warranty. Also it does not force any restrictions on the designs created. > I am not really sure how the copyright works with free software > for academic usage... I can't imagine anything to worry about, but if you'd like to talk about this, or the customizer, we can chat on IRC (you can find me there under nick 'teepee'): https://web.libera.chat/?channel=#openscad > how to make use of the configurator with test subjects in a > standardised way. I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. If it's about the definition of parameters, that follows the definitions outlined in the Thingiverse documentation. https://customizer.makerbot.com/docs Applications doing customizations: - Upload the file to Thingiverse and use the Customizer there - Use the OpenSCAD application - Hopefully soon, use Cadhub.xyz, this is work in progress, but people are actively working on the customization part, so it may happen in the not too distant future e.g. for https://cadhub.xyz/u/Torsten/cookie-cutter - New site: https://www.sol75.com/ - currently in Beta, I don't know much about it, but the documentation mentions that it's using OpenSCAD - Special case labyrinth builder: http://www.mylabyrinthlab.com/ ciao, Torsten.
