Licence · Magnetite

In plain words

This summary helps you read the licence; it does not replace it.

You may use Magnetite for any purpose, study and change its source code, and share it, changed or not.
If you distribute a changed version, or let others use it over a network (a modified sync server offered as a service, for example), you must offer them its source code, as a copy or a link to where it is freely available, under the EUPL or a licence the EUPL lists as compatible, and keep the copyright and licence notices.
Magnetite comes without warranty, as far as the law allows.

Licence text

LICENSE in the repository: the official English text, unmodified.
Official texts in every EU language, published by the European Commission. All language versions have equal value.
Why we chose the EUPL (architecture decision record).

Third-party software

Magnetite embeds Chromium through the Chromium Embedded Framework and uses open-source libraries. They keep their own licences. The third-party notices list them with their licence texts and will ship inside every Magnetite package.

Contributions

Contributions come in under the EUPL-1.2; there is no contributor licence agreement and you keep your copyright. See CONTRIBUTING.md.

This website

The website’s source has its own repository, magnetite-website, under the same licence. The headings use Bricolage Grotesque (SIL Open Font License 1.1), served from this site; the logo and the icons were drawn for Magnetite. The live demo runs the app’s sidebar and, with it, React (MIT) and Lucide icons (ISC); their notices are in the demo’s script and in the third-party notices.

Name and logo

The licence covers the code and the image files. It does not give the right to use the name “Magnetite” or its logo for something else (Art. 5 EUPL). They are the marks of the project, held by StackForge UG (haftungsbeschränkt), the company that publishes Magnetite. If you distribute a changed version, give it another name and logo, so nobody takes it for ours. You may always say truthfully that your work is based on Magnetite or works with it.
