bim-tools / ifc2json_python Goto Github PK

I'd like to integrate this with https://blenderbim.org/ which already uses IfcOpenShell. To allow people to export IFCJSON format from Blender :)

I see the code is GPL. As it is a tiny script library, would this be more appropriate as LGPL? I'm not sure what the rationale is.

Currently BlenderBIM Add-on is part of IfcOpenShell which is LGPL, and so I think (I am not a lawyer) I can't use it unless i upgrade the BlenderBIM Add-on to be GPL. Which I don't mind, and is probably a good thing... except that most CAD applications are GPLv2, and this is...v3?

Licenses give me a headache. We're all FOSS here, so can I use your code (and modify it to be tailored to BlenderBIM Add-on) and you won't sue me? :)

Cheers

This issue refers to the IFCJSON-Team forked repo where issues cannot be used, however.

In the README file, the command line for using the converter misses the python file ifc2json.py.
It should be like this, right?

python ifc2json.py -i model.ifc -o model_-_ifcjson4.json -v 4
