Maybe the software must be GPL?

Hello, thank you for opening a good software to the world :) Upon using your software as part of my project, I come to wonder about the license.

Blender's license is GPL, and the license seems to apply also to the python module. To my understanding, importing python module is dynamic linking, I guess kubric must be GPL license. https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/6033/can-a-non-gpl-python-program-use-gpl-python-module

Sorry in advance, if my understanding is not correct.

My interpretation is that you can pick any license that is weaker than gpl and is compatible.

Hi, I'm sorry to bring up something troublesome, but I'm the one who's most troubled by this issue.

If you're using the Blender Python API (bpy) in your script, it's important to note that the script must be licensed under the GNU GPL if you plan to share or publish it. This is in line with Blender's page, which state): "If you share or publish Python scripts they have to be made available compliant to the GNU GPL as well, if they use Blender Python API calls."

Given this, some scripts in this repository that are non-GPL should actually be licensed as such.
