zwitschi 2f87002711 docs(licensing): remove ODbL attribution requirements and HUD credit references
Drop the OpenStreetMap/ODbL attribution requirement, the Google imagery rule,
and the related F-4 requirement, risk R-4, release check, and TODO items across
AGENTS, PLAN, ROADMAP, README, setup, architecture sections, and manifests.
OSM data is now documented as local private use only. Also normalize
numbered-list indentation in the architecture docs.

Third-party notices

Provenance and redistribution status for everything in this repository that is not original project work. Policy lives in Docs/licensing.md.

Status values: verified (licence confirmed and permits our use), pending (not yet checked), unresolved (checked and not cleared — must not be committed or shipped).

Reference photography (local only, not committed, not shipped)

Reference photographs are not part of this repository. They live in the gitignored Art/reference/ tree on the development machine, are used only for internal, private development, and are never built into a build or shipped. .gitignore enforces this; nothing under Art/reference/ may be added, staged, or committed.

Local folder Source Provenance
Art/reference/hollywood/ Copied 2026-11-06 from …/06-games/security-game/docs/screens/refs/hollywood/ That folder's SIDECAR.md (author, licence, URL, crop notes)
Art/reference/north-chinese/ Fetched 2026-11-06 with Tools/commons_fetch.py from the Wikimedia Commons API sidecar.json in the folder
Art/reference/north-tussauds/ Same sidecar.json in the folder

Reference notes and images are local only and excluded from version control.

Rules that still apply, because they are about shipped output rather than local working material:

  • No reference photograph may be shipped, baked into a texture, or distributed. If a shipped asset would otherwise derive from one, that is a licensing decision to be made before the release, recorded here.
  • Venue lettering, signage artwork, and trademarks are separate rights from the photograph. Copying a façade's proportions is not the same as reproducing its signage.
  • A reference image whose provenance cannot be found locally must not be used at all.

Assets

Component Source Licence Status
Character mesh, standard rig, and baked skin MPFB 2.0.18 bundled base mesh, rig, and textures; Tools/mpfb_character_export.py CC0 1.0 for bundled assets Verified against the versioned MPFB licence; imported character assets and Blender source are tracked.

Terrain and street prototype USGS 3DEP DEM, OSM data, project scripts Public domain USGS data; OpenStreetMap data, local private use Source manifests in Geo/manifests/.

| Hero façade blockout | Project-owned geometry from Tools/hero_facade_build.py, dimensions from OSM and the reference photography | Project-owned | Committed with a per-part evidence report (Art/blender/hero/hero-facade-*.json) and a position sidecar (hero-facade.geo.json). | | Street props (candidate reuse) | Sibling project …/06-games/security-game, assets/models/blender_src/*.blend | Project-owned by the same author | Not yet imported.
