Third-Party Dependencies

NeverWrite is built upon open-source software. Below is a summary of the licenses governing our direct and transitive dependencies, grouped by license type.

License Summary

Apache-2.0 TypeScript, pdfjs-dist, agent-client-protocol
MIT OR Apache-2.0 Most Rust crates (serde, tokio, regex, etc.)
MPL-2.0 cssparser, selectors, spellbook
LGPL/MPL dictionary terms Bundled and downloadable Hunspell dictionaries
Unicode-3.0 ICU libraries (icu_*, zerovec, yoke, litemap)
ISC ring (partial), rustls-webpki, libloading
BSD-3-Clause subtle, alloc-no-stdlib, brotli (dual)
Zlib foldhash, tinyvec, dispatch2
CC0-1.0 notify

No GPL-only runtime code dependencies are used in this project. Spellcheck dictionaries are tracked separately because some packs use disjunctive dictionary licenses.
