Google's 3D Warehouse models

[Vicente Marti]

Hello, I was looking at Google's 3D Warehouse ( http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ )
and I found a lot of nice cars that could be imported into torcs.

My question is: is it completely free to use these 3d models for non commercial prupouse
like using the models into torcs?

I was surfing the internet and i found in these page:
http://vrshed.com/sketchlife/about3d_warehouse.html


The Terms of Service for Google's 3D Warehouse (see especially section 4, under the heading "Your Rights")  give Google and its end-users (that's us) a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual  license to exercise the rights in the Content, as stated below:

    2. to create and reproduce derivative works of  the Content;
    3. to display publicly and distribute copies of  the Content;
    4. to display publicly and distribute copies of  derivative works of the content.
...


Wat do you think about the the license of the Google's 3D Warehouse models? We
can use these models into torcs?

Please help me to find out if it's posible to use these models for torcs and if it's posible
i will import some nice models for torcs.

The full terms of service of Google's 3D Warehouse are here:

Thanks for your reply

Vicente

Hello Vicente, hello all.

I've read those pages with interest, and I've got to this conclusion
(I'm not sure I have understood everithing):
for Google, you may use the models in any way, but you have to make sure
that content authors have not set any restriction in doing that. If
there is no such bad thing, you may modify and use anywhere the models.

Bye,
