Point-cloud / mesh tool for lidar cleanup, alignment, and sampling down to something an engine can swallow. Download page: "Free as in Free speech". Wiki License page: CCLib (core algorithms) is LGPL 2.0 and "can be integrated in any commercial or non-commercial project" if you share modifications of that lib; CloudCompare the app plus qCC_db / qCC_io / qCC_gl are GPL 2.0. license.txt in GitHub matches GPL-2-or-later for the program. Use the app on your clouds. Do not copy qCC_* into a closed engine without GPL.

Global Shift exists because lidar is in Earth coordinates. Apply it before export or your mesh is 1e6 units from origin
Checklist: license on wiki + GitHub, commercial use of the app under GPL / CCLib under LGPL, no NC/ND, not a marketplace, named project, not blocklisted, lib vs app split recorded, output ownership unquoted
The bundled license.txt is the project's own header, not stock license text: it elects "version 2 or later", so the SPDX identifier is GPL-2.0-or-later.
