}Evidence claims
- [sourced_fact] License page: all assets (HDRIs, textures, models) are CC0; commercial use, redistribution and inclusion in sold products allowed; no attribution required; the page does not state any rule about AI/ML training. · locator: License page body source
- [sourced_fact] The same page says the site Terms of Service apply separately and prohibit web scraping or data mining without express permission, while not restricting the CC0 assets themselves. · locator: License page, Terms of Service paragraph source
- [upstream_claim] Landing page describes HDRIs as 16k+ resolution, textures at least 8k, with a Blender add-on, and CC0 licensing with no signup. · locator: Home page hero text source
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
