Rights:
- code: license=LicenseRef-Shotgun-BSD-style-notice hosting=restricted redistribution=restricted modification=restricted training=unknown · BSD-style notice in LICENSE read; SPDX id not asserted by GitHub (NOASSERTION), so license_id left null. Using the service requires Autodesk's own terms (not read). L07 2026-10-17: license_id set to LicenseRef-Shotgun-BSD-style-notice (LICENSE is a BSD-style notice without an SPDX match (GitHub NOASSERTION); named so permitted permissions are not attached to a null license.) · evidence: https://github.com/shotgunsoftware/python-api/blob/master/LICENSE
