# Planetka Licensing Overview

Last updated: 2026-05-12

This folder contains the user-facing Planetka licence, privacy, attribution, and source-compliance documents included with the public add-on package.

## Public texture access model

Planetka has two public texture-quality modes:

- **Preview**: free streamed/cached texture access for personal, non-commercial use inside Planetka.
- **Full Quality**: paid texture access with a commercial licence included for the Full Quality texture data licenced to the user's account.

Full Quality may be purchased as scene-specific texture data, animation texture data, or predefined data packs such as countries, states, regions, continents, and world coverage.

## What a Full Quality licence allows

A Full Quality licence allows commercial and non-commercial use of the licenced texture data in renders, animations, client work, and supported download/offline workflows. It does not allow resale, redistribution, hosting, API access, extraction, scraping, AI dataset use, or operation of a competing map/texture service.

## Attribution

Planetka texture data is derived from several credited data sources. Use the attribution documents in this folder when publishing work made with Planetka data.

Recommended short attribution:

`Planetka Earth textures derived from Copernicus Sentinel-2, NASA Blue Marble, JAXA AW3D30, DLR WSF 2015, GeoNames, and other credited sources.`
