Problem. Physical merchandise from AI meshes. Conditions. Hunyuan 3D 2.1 Community License (release June 13, 2025). Method. Read: (a) Tencent claims no rights in Outputs, users are responsible for them; (b) licence does not apply in the EU, UK and South Korea, and use or distribution of Output outside the Territory is unauthorized; (c) above 1 million monthly active users on the release date a separate licence is needed; (d) Output must not be used to improve other AI models. Failure modes. Selling prints into excluded territories or relying on EU-based use can fall outside the licence. Limitations. Text says nothing specific about physical goods; whether the printed product counts as Output 'distribution' is an interpretation (inference). Copyright in AI outputs and training-data issues are separate. Not legal advice; summary of licence text only. Version and date. 3D 2.1 licence file at main.
