The source permits use in research projects and inclusion in commercially
sold products. It prohibits reselling the motion data directly, including
converted forms. This material is not represented as CC0.

The database requests acknowledgement when publishing results and suggests:
The data used in this project was obtained from mocap.cs.cmu.edu.
The database was created with funding from NSF EIA-0196217.

The source also cautions that toe/hand channels may be noisy and finger/thumb
channels are not actually captured. The generated humanoid motion therefore
does not map the synthetic finger/thumb channels.

This application incorporates only a small, converted walking segment; it
does not sell the dataset or offer it as a standalone asset product.
