The package's LICENSE.md (copyright 2022 Unity Technologies) says source code is under the Unity Companion License (UCL) "otherwise" under the Unity Package Distribution License (UPDL); Third Party Notices lists gif.ski as a commercial licence (Kornel Lesinski). The UCL v1.4 text served by unity.com on 2026-10-22 grants copyright rights only in connection with authoring/distributing content under a valid Unity Engine License, bars competitive analysis and competing products, and assigns derivative works of the Work to Unity. UPDL text and gif.ski terms were not read. No legal clearance is concluded.
