Node-based photogrammetry GUI on the AliceVision library. You point it at a photo set and get a sparse/dense reconstruction and a mesh. That is the gap Instant Meshes and MeshLab do not close: they clean a mesh, they do not build one from photographs. Meshroom and AliceVision are both MPL-2.0. The GUI also ships Qt/PySide6 under LGPL-3.0. Pages fetched on 2026-08-24 do not say "the mesh you export is yours." Treat it like other pipeline tools: the code is MPL, your photos keep their own copyright, and a scan of a copyrighted object is still that object's problem.
