Is this a misstep? I assume this means that other content creators can also build their own robodogs.
If others (e.g. Ironmouse, Michael Reeves) indeed do, then it would genericise and dilute the trademark of the oblong Neurodog appearance, in the same way that other vtubers using Neuro's v2 model would. It could weaken the illusion of Neurodog being a physical extension of Neuro and reduce her recognizability. Perhaps this could be mitigated by giving the Neurodog accessories and a specific print.
People who don't know Neuro might be unaware was made for Neuro or even mistakenly think that the design was made by someone else.
I concede that this discussion isn't very useful. Choosing the license is Ellie's prerogative: she got the parts through her throne (albeit paid by a Neuro oiler), she's doing the work and she hasn't mentioned Vedal compensating her. Also, Ellie likely cares a lot more about sharing her work than something as inconsequential and possibly nonexistent as the trademark of Neurodog's appearance.
