    Thank you. Will the following text in a license.txt file stating the following comply with the license?

    ---
    Files in this folder were originally obtained from http://www.openbuilds.com/ at http://openbuildspartstore.com/motor-mount-plate/ . They, and all modifications to them, retain their original license, unless a different license is noted in their file.

    Open Builds staff have stated

    Its a pretty straight forward license and very open to use :)
    Hope this helps

    Right, just wanted to make sure the license.txt file complied with that license. Thank you.
