﻿Muscle Licensing
============================================

This file attempts to include all licenses that apply within Muscle (this program) source tree, in particular any that are supposed to be exposed to the end user for credit requirements for instance. 

Muscle for Grasshopper is devoted to the design, the analysis and the optimization of tensegrity, tension-based and truss-like structures with element forces only in tension (muscles) or in compression (bones). 
Muscle performs different analysis including: 1) non-linear static analysis under loading or prestressing, 2) form-finding and deployment by dynamic relaxation, 3) computation of the mechanisms, self-stress modes and natural vibration modes.

Mail from <tech.eu@mcneel.com> send on 16/02/2022:

It isn't necessary to refer to a license for the Grasshopper Template, as that is a free utility we provide to our community to make development easier. If you want to reference something related to the template, you can put a note in the license file that mentions that the plugin or add-on was based on the grasshopper template, and add a link to the template repository or the template on the Visual Studio Marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=McNeel.GrasshopperAssemblyforv6&ssr=false).
Finally, we do not typically see people add these references, but we do appreciate your thoroughness regarding the references used in your plugin.
