[geometry] 3D Model License
Hello,
I'm adding an OBJ model file of the Utah teapot [1] (a standard 3D test model) to the project for use in unit tests and code examples. The file I used was generated by Nate Morrical at the University of Utah [2] from the original surface descriptions from Martin Newell in 1975. Neither the files from Nate nor the original surface descriptions include a license. I reached out to Nate about using his model in the project and he suggested that the license is CCO [3], i.e. public domain, but that I should check with SIGGRAPH to verify since they host the original files. I've emailed SIGGRAPH but I'm not very optimistic about getting a reply.
Does anyone know how to add a proper license and attribution for this file in the project? Where does it need to go? If it truly is in the public domain, do I need to even add anything? RAT does not complain since it treats the file as binary.
Regards,
Matt J

Thanks. I've created LEGAL-525 [1]. The file is only in my github dev branch for now. I'll hold off on merging until this is resolved.
