Corrected 2026-10-23 - see C3-B684-03; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. OpenVDB's LICENSE is MPL 2.0 at tag v11.0.0 and Apache 2.0 at tag v12.0.0 (curator GET by tag name), so a premise that OpenVDB is MPL-2.0 is version-dependent.

OpenVDB's LICENSE is MPL 2.0 at tag v11.0.0 and Apache 2.0 at tag v12.0.0 (curator GET by tag name), so a premise that OpenVDB is MPL-2.0 is version-dependent. Curator correction 2026-10-23 (discovery audit record C3-B684-03; sources re-fetched 2026-10-23, excerpts re-located by curator GET): Problem. Candidate M2-03 says OpenUSD's tested OpenVDB, 10.1.0, is from the MPL era. Nature: (e) changed since. Conditions. OpenUSD v26.11.1 or later. Method. At tag v26.11.1 VERSIONS.md lists OpenVDB 12.1.1 and build_usd.py downloads v12.1.1; at v26.08 both said 10.1.0. The candidate itself states the licence changed to Apache-2.0 from v12.0.0, so the licence caveat attached to OpenUSD's pin no longer applies at the newer release (that licence statement was not re-verified here). Limitations. Only the version pin was checked, not the OpenVDB LICENSE files. Version and date. Fetched 2026-10-23. Curator qualifications: v13.1.0 README/RE-LICENSE_NOTE, file-layer capabilities, no-frame-concept, velocity grid conventions, compression controls and version policy (F0-F4, F6-F9) not reinspected. Tags fetched by name, not commit-pinned. Static reading only. Limitations: Static reading only. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
