But Blender is not reinforcing the license, it is up to artists using the assets.
@ravikul-rao I believe contributions to this are still welcome. If you get a chance to work on this remember to refer to this issue, so people following it can help with testing.
For reference, those are some of the current errors we get for missing datafiles:
- BLT_lang_init: 'locale' data path for translations not found, continuing

"3. whenever these files are missing just show that things are missing and functionality is limited."
If we have a good way to show those…

-
People who deliberately want to build a light Blender (e.g., make lite) should be able to do so with no problems.
-
People who were just…
