    I answered  my own question. According to their (SketchFab.com) “Terms of Use” under section 4 “User Content” it states in short that all users own their models, but the section starts with the word “Generally,” and so that worries me. It also says that users, upon upload, grant SketchFab and its affiliates, licensees, agents, assigns, etc., a license to “a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) right and license to use, reproduce, publicly display, distribute and adapt the publicly shared User Content for the purposes of developing, distributing, providing, improving, and promoting the Services, our activities and your publicly shared User Content. You further grant Sketchfab the right to use your name and trademarks, if any, in connection with our use of your publicly shared User Content. “

    With all due respect, CGCookie.com and Mr. Lampel, I will not be uploading any models to SketchFab as part of a course requirement even though the request isn’t necessarily contingent upon a “passing” grade. If it is all the same to you, I’m gonna skip it.

    Thanks for your understanding…
