Wavefront Object, FBX and LWO show no such licensing. The difference with using one of those licenses is that anyone can extend or change the format. See the various, incompatible, versions of Collada for what a trap that is.

Very reviling attempt at skipping the issue. It is the same trick the owners of the GIF specification tried: sit down, do nothing, entice the imbeciles into adopting the format without reading the small print and then jump on them requiring royalties. Everybody got mad, dropped GIFs and switched to other formats. PNG was born on the aftermath of this trap, with the purpose to explain in clear terms to the owners of GIF patents in which bodily orifice of theirs they could insert (deeply) their requests for royalties.

And you provide the perfect example of why that kind of nonsense doesn't fly. Thank you.
