Commercial Training

I have a number of clients who use Microsoft Guides to develop employee training. If you aren't familiar with Guides, this page has pictures and videos that explain:

https://dynamics.microsoft.com/en-us/mixed-reality/guides/

Guides teaches users how to complete tasks by guiding them through the process with holograms in the real world. For example, a holographic arrow might indicate the direction a part should be rotated.

Sometimes it's helpful to have holograms for real-world parts. For example, a ghosted outline of a socket wrench can show the trainee where to put the wrench to loosen a specific bolt. And the ghosted outline of a part might show where it's going to installed.

It's very clear that GrabCAD models can't be sold without obtaining permission from the author. My question is about this article:

https://help.grabcad.com/article/246-how-can-models-be-used-and-shared

It says that that models can be shown in a presentation so as long as no money is exchanged, and attribution is given. Therefore, I'm curious if GrabCAD models could be used by a company for the purposes of developing internal training if attribution is given?

Thank you!
