Corpus and third‑party licensing notes

This repository includes test corpora under test/corpus/ to validate behavior against real-world files.

What’s included

• Curated JSON manifests and small samples.
• Some third‑party corpora are vendored under test/corpus/external/ to enable repeatable CI and debugging.

Important

• Each external corpus remains under its own license, typically included alongside the files (e.g. LICENSE.md inside the extracted corpus).
• If you redistribute or mirror this repository, ensure you comply with those third‑party licenses.

Why keep corpora in-repo?

USD compatibility work is corpus-driven. Tests that only use synthetic files miss the real compatibility cliffs:

• authoring variations across DCC tools
• composition patterns in the wild
• crate value types and compression paths that only appear in real assets
