  • Copyright on game assets: Viewing a .gr2 file from a game you own is generally considered fair use for personal education or modding. However, distributing those extracted models on a site like TurboSquid or Sketchfab infringes on the original developer's copyright.
  • Software license: RAD Game Tools never released Granny Viewer as open source. Distributing version 2.11 technically violates their EULA (End User License Agreement). However, given that version 2.11 is over a decade old and no longer sold, most developers turn a blind eye to its use in the modding community, as long as it is not repackaged with commercial assets.
  • Ethical modding: Always credit the original game developers. Use Granny Viewer 2.11 to create transformative content (new characters, levels, or gameplay) rather than simply ripping assets for another game.
