AudivaneLicenses and third-party credits
Updated
Audivane is built from open source, and each component keeps its own license. The application’s own code is MIT; nothing else is relabeled. Every published release ships the complete matching source, build and license materials — notices, pinned source archives with verified checksums and build scripts — alongside the installers.
License map

Version pins above describe the current native release materials. A published release’s own materials are authoritative for the exact builds it ships.
Source materials and reproducibility
The browser preview’s application source, codec sources, build materials and license notices are available alongside the app.
For the native desktop builds, every third-party source archive is pinned by URL and SHA-256 (or a canonical content hash where the upstream regenerates archive bytes). The collector verifies the pins and assembles the complete license, notice, source and build payload so any reviewer can rebuild the codec artifacts from the same exact inputs.
Notes
- The MIT license applies to Audivane’s own code only. No dependency license is replaced or reinterpreted.
- LGPL components are dynamically linked where the license calls for it, and the corresponding object/source materials accompany the distribution so the LGPL obligations are exercisable.
- Codec availability does not imply patent clearance. Whether particular codecs and formats may be distributed or used in a given region is a legal question that depends on the channel and jurisdiction, and is part of release review.
