Third-party notices
FrameDecks is proprietary software (LICENSE, EULA). It uses the software and assets below,
each under its own licence, which continues to apply to that component. Licences that ask for their text to travel with
copies are honoured as follows:
- the files under
app/vendor/ and app/fonts/ keep their own licence files;
- the Windows installer carries this file,
LICENSE and NOTICE in the program folder;
- each project's full licence is at the link given;
- the LGPL-licensed libraries (pystray; the FFmpeg libraries inside OpenCV) are separate files in the program folder
that can be replaced, and the EULA does not restrict the rights their licences give.
Who this is for: anyone redistributing FrameDecks, and maintainers adding a dependency. Add a row here, in the same
change, for anything new that ships.

Its npm dependencies are listed with their licences in hosted/package-lock.json. The main ones are:
- Next.js and React: MIT;
- supabase-js: MIT;
- lucide-react: ISC;
- Tailwind CSS: MIT.
They are bundled into the built site under those licences.
Services, not shipped
Supabase, Vercel, the ESV API (api.esv.org; each church uses its own key under Crossway's terms) and, when M-D3 is
built, Ollama and the models it runs: these are reached over the network and not redistributed by FrameDecks. A model's
own licence applies to whoever downloads it.
