No EULA, LICENSE, or commercial-use sentence was reachable on 2026-08-24 (/eula.html and /license.txt 404). Free download is not a quoted commercial grant. Prefer materialize (GPL v3, quoted) when you need a license you can point at.

Maps you bake from your meshes are not a redistribution of xNormal, but that is inferred. Third-party high-poly scans keep their own licenses
Checklist: no license text beyond "free app", commercial unknown, no NC/ND flags found, not a marketplace, named tool (Santiago Orgaz historically; not re-verified as current operator), not on the high-risk table, catalog claims no rights, tool vs bake ownership unquoted
