Hi guys, I built this project for fun and I thought it would also be a good practice for me. However, I have read the OpenPose License which strictly disallows their project for commercial use. My project is for research use only and I'm not making any money from it. I have mentioned that I implemented OpenPose and link to their GitHub repo. And I also copy and paste their whole license into my repo license. I want to know is it still possible for me to violate their license in any way? https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blo...

Hi, thanks for telling me this. I'm definitely not using it for commercial purpose. I did read their whole license on their GitHub page. https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blo... I'm not really good at English, can you please help me with it? From their GitHub LICENSE: 1. ACADEMIC OR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION NONCOMMERCIAL RESEARCH USE ONLY 2.

for fun, and I'm not making any money from it, which makes it non-commercial? 2. I have mentioned that I implemented OpenPose and link to their GitHub repo. 3. I have copy and paste all of their license into my repo license. 4. Basically, I have no intention of stealing OpenPose and claim it as my own research. I just found out a cool implementation of their project. If anyone is interested in the pose analysis, I have provided the link on my README which will redirect him to the CMU's OpenPose repo. Is it still possible to have any license problem? I'm seriously not sure about it.

Just built a gesture controlled robot[1] with the Xavier board. We were able to run OpenPose[2] at 27FPS, which we found was even faster than running it on K80 on AWS p2.xlarge. It was a pain to install caffe and all the dependencies on an ARM processor, but it worked out eventually. We were able to train and run Tensorflow 2 models quickly also. Felt like using an actual GPU at a fraction of the cost. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF8zmTaa17s [2] https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose
